Looking like it just finished a meal this Red tailed Hawk was right back at it. Watching the fields intently for a mouse to stir and trying to make the most of the short days this time of year.

Fierce-looking character… Mice beware!
I do think there is no mouse problem in the field this hawk patrols.
They are so beautiful. Took our squirrel population down to a reasonable level a couple years ago.
We could duse a few for our squirrel population right now.
I wonder if they have to eat more during the colder months, to keep up with the energetic burden of staying warm?
Hi Josh, I think most raptors move along to warmer climate to be able to get the food they need and avoid the cold although there are exceptions to every rule.
That makes sense – thanks for the answer!
Your welcome.
