Pics of a Red-tailed Hawk feeding on my side porch today

Noticed this guy eating his lunch while I was making mine. I snapped a few pics and thought I'd share them.

Oh beautiful!! That's my bird right there! I just love raptors of any kind. Especially hawks and owls. I've recently become obsessed with the new movie Legend of the Guardians and have plans to buy the books because I want to know what happens!! Lol

I know a nice couple not far from me who are 2 of our areas master falconers and also have a huge raptor rehab facility. They are the only people in northern IL licensed to rehab bald eagles and make an appearance at a local Pow Wow every year with some of their birds.

I've always been fascinated by them. I take pictures whenever I can as well. Thanks for sharing!

Oh wow that is amazing. What a treat for you to get to see that!

What a blessing to get to share a meal with such a beautiful creature! I'm glad you were able to get pictures and share!

Man i'm soo Jealous.. I love all kind of Raptors and I hope to take similar Pictures one day ...

Thanks for sharing :gj::gj::gj:

That's awesome!!! Very nice pics too :salute:

Awesome shot!

The dead squirrel is gross though. Makes me appreciate the not-even-close-to-that-kind-of-gross eating habits of the ball python. :)

I guess I should save this picture for when some friends of mine tells me how gross owning a snake is because of the eating-the-rat thing...

Awwww and its a Juvie too! They are adorable! If she sticks around you may get to see her get her red tail feathers in :) :please:

I hope so, We had a pair that roosted in a tall pine across the street a few years ago. It was cool watching them raise two chicks and see them start flying etc.
