Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk in Holland Marsh

                                                                                                     Photos by BarrytheBirder
Pictured above is a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk gliding over the Holland Marsh in search of prey.   Below it spots something in long grasses on the ground and prepares to dive on the creature.   In the third picture it is in its dive which takes it into the long grasses where it has spotted a rodent.   The bottom photo shows the hawk with the rodent in its talons as it lifts off to find a suitable perch for consuming the little creature.

What a great sequence of photos. It's rare to even witness a scene like that, let alone catch it with a camera.
