PREDATORS AND PREY BUT ALL QUIET

The Sharp-shinned Hawk preys on little birds like the finches while the Red-tailed Hawk is able to take out a mallard.  I present the different species in peaceful times.

One shotgun shell and you could take out six mallards

Red-tailed Hawk.  I don't recall ever seeing one with this much red but I read that they have a large colour variation.
