Three Redtail Hawks

Very cool--surprising that he's so comfortable in the bird bath! We have a pair in our neighborhood, they generally stay up high unless they're devouring some unfortunate rodent they've trapped on the floor of our woods. Occasionally they'll swoop in low with a bird in their talons--impressive deep bass from the wings.

I love watching them get chased off by smaller birds, too--that always makes me chuckle. Huge raptor getting bested by some little sparrow.
