While sitting close, enjoying and counting the Whistling Ducks at Ensley,
everything exploded as a Red-tailed Hawk plunged into the group and took a
Whistling Duck right in front of me. I'll post a few photos of the
encounter as soon as I have a chance. Completely unexpected to say the least.
This
immature Red-tail has been hanging out within a few hundred feet of a wet
area frequented by these ducks for a few weeks and I guess just could not
stand it anymore.............
Good Birding!!!
