Title: Red-Tailed Hawk Show at Downsview
Post by: Dinusaur on October 12, 2014, 10:42:50 PM

Last two week-ends a few of us was fortunate enough to witness some spectacular shows of a juvenile red-tailed hawk at different locations at the park.

1. Hovering to locate the prey

2. First of two kills that we observed Sunday, Oct 5

3. 20 minutes later the second kill - paraded around and then settled down to eat on the slope about 10 meters away from us

4. After the meal - on the lamp post
