Wow. I can not believe I got this photo. I was trying to get more pictures of an Osprey hunting when this Red-Shouldered Hawk perched up high in a Royal Palm tree. Out of the corner of my eye I saw him swoop down. He caught the bird out of view and this is the shot of him brining it out in the open. I have more pictures but they are a little graphic. He tore the feathers off the bird in seconds then flew off. It got kind of messy.

Beautiful Hawk! But I do kind of feel really sad to see this little one being taken this way. I know that this is the way the world turns but, it doesn't make me smile even so. I wish our planet operated differently, but I am not God n Well....
