Description
A young Red-Tailed Hawk dashes frantically across a sprawling field, his piercing cries echoing through the air.
It is highly unlikely that this juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk will ever forget this experience. Once he had filled his stomach with what was potentially his first meal not fed to him by his mother, a Bald Eagle swiftly appeared to seize the prey. The mother hawk and sibling quickly departed, seeking refuge nearby, urging him to join them. He struggled to ascend more than a few feet despite multiple attempts to fly and ultimately fled from the scene to the protection of the tree line, emitting loud cries.
It was a heart-pounding encounter!
