I photographed a Red-shouldered Hawk on two different days from Eagle's
Marsh observation building at the north end of Ankeny NWR. This week also
saw two mature Bald Eagle's team up and a attack a flock of ducks. One
eagle got a duck in shallow water and sat on it for a few minutes. The
eagle then tried to fly with the duck a couple of times and couldn't seem
to get enough lift to take off. The eagle flew to a nearby tree for a
couple of minutes. The duck seemed to pop back up but was probably
injured. The eagle flew down and tried again and was able to get the duck
to a nearby island and proceeded to eat it. Nature seems a little cruel at
times. Click on link below for Red-shouldered Hawk photos. Happy Birding,
Jim Leonard.
