Description
This hawk was eating a rabbit. I slowly crept forward, hidden by tall tomato plants. I was about six feet away from this bird when I got the photo. I sent the photo to a state raptor center, who identified it for me. While I’m concerned about the effects of hawks in my feeder area, I love seeing them, and they do have the right to eat.

Beautiful picture!. I love watching birds. I have hawks where I live too but I have never gotten to see one that close. Well through binoculars only. They are a magnificent creature. The joy of creation. I am so glad you posted the picture.
