Photo of a yearling female Red-tailed hawk TRYING to dismantle her catch... and having a very hard time of it. Several times she kept giving the meal a look like she wanted a butcher to help her with pulling it apart. She obviously is a skilled hunter (based on size and clearly well fleshed out) but still needed to learn how to better dismantle the food.
