ON MY DRIVE BY WHITE LAKE ON MONDAY MARCH 23 I WATCHED THIS RED-TAILED HAWK DIVE FROM A POWER POLE INTO THE GRASS BESIDE THE ROAD. HE LIFTED OFF WITH A LITTLE FURRY CREATURE INTO THE TOP OF A PINE TREE RIGHT BESIDE ME. THESE SHOTS WERE TAKEN OVER THE COURSE OF ONE MINUTE WHICH WAS ALL IT TOOK TO DEVOUR HIS LUNCH.

Landed with his lunch.

Checking to make sure nobody is going to try to steal his meal.

The eating frenzy begins.

The last bite.

Is that all?

Off to look for another snack.
