Hello all, I apologize for the picture cluttering your e-boxes, but this is
worth seeing. An incredible show of nature erupted at Steele Creek
Park today when this Red-tailed hawk captured and killed an adult female
mallard on the nature center's front lawn, and proceeded to eat its meal,
unfettered, with several observers getting within 5 feet from it! This hawk
is presumably one of our resident nesters. Also interesting to note is that
at least one mallard egg was noticeable in the prey's entrails. The photo
is by Larry McDaniel. Wow!
