Evening Snack

Red-tailed Hawk in the Oaks

A Red-tailed Hawk enjoys its evening meal in the quiet shelter of an old oak tree. In the final moments, this juvenile uses its talons to work through the tough remains before carrying off what’s left.

A closer look

Red-tailed Hawks feed primarily on small mammals such as voles, rabbits, and other rodents, but their diet is highly adaptable. They also hunt snakes and other birds and will sometimes scavenge carrion when the opportunity arises. This flexibility is one reason they thrive across such a wide range of habitats.
