This photo of a Red-tailed Hawk and it’s prey was taken at Carrizo Plains National Monument in San Luis Obispo County, California. Click on each image to enlarge and enjoy even further. It looks as if the Hawk got a little prey on it’s nose.

Super!
I held a red-tailed falcon when I was 7 years old and it changed me. I still have the picture. I have always loved these big raptors. Majestic creatures and wonderfully captured. Great to find you here! Peacex
Thank you for stopping by Leroy and sharing your experience. Great to meet you as well!

Thank you my friend, I’m honored!
Textures of sky, land and signpost give your Red-tail special beauty.
Thank you my friends! This was at Carrizo Plains in mid-afternoon. Lots of heat waves coming up. :O)

Hawks are special creatures. Nice captures.
Beautiful shots!
Outstanding shots. Thank you for sharing! I have a special place in my heart for Red Tails.
He has quite the catch there!
Here (Arizona) we have plenty of Red-Tailed Hawks.
