Hawk Show

We had a ferocious visitor in the backyard last week - the Red Tailed Hawk. His visit came at the expense of another one of our fine avian friends. The hawk decided to dine upon one of the Mourning Doves. All that remained of the dove was a pile of feathers. We startled the hawk, and off with his meal to a bough in the pecan tree. Luckily, my camera was in the car as we pulled up on the scene and I caught a snapshot of the bird in the tree. I'll publish the pic as soon as I get back to my normal PC.
