Red-tailed hawk

Buteo jamaicensis

Description:

This hawk was quite focused on a rodent that it had tracked. Even though people passed by quite closely on a walking path, it did not let that disrupt its concentration and it eventually captured its prey.

Habitat:

Mason Farm Biological Reserve

Notes:

The hawk's hunting technique is described in this blog: http://mybeautifulworldblog.com/2015/03/...
