[TN-Bird] Super Raptors

Nov. 29, 2006
 
Last year, I posted about a super Harrier that took a Ring-billed Gull in  
flight down in Tunica Co, MS. Today, I received an e-mail from John Laux, an  
M.S. Candidate at the 
University of Tennessee, Department of Forestry,  Wildlife and Fisheries 
working on a research project in east TN. He watched and  photographed a 
Cooper's 
Hawk, take down a Ring-billed Gull from a feeding  flock and drag it from the 
water to the river bank.
 
I've put a web site with photos of these two super raptors with their prey,  
if you are into raptor super achievers!
