We were in the yard yesterday when we heard some screeching. We both looked up and there were 2 Red-tailed hawks on a branch in the tall tree. One was keeping guard while the other one was killing her prey. We could hear the baby hawk nearby crying for food.

While the one on the left stood guard, the one with the prey put its wings all around it while she killed it. You can see it in the photograph. It was quite a sight. I have never seen anything quite like this before.

She then ate her share and then the hawk on the left finished it off. I guess it’s all part of the food chain…
