I was lucky when this hawk snared a snake at close range and was then kind enough to enjoy the meal on the branch of a nearby tree.

Hawks have removed the gopher snakes from my property and there has been an explosion in the number of gophers as a result. The only birds going after the gophers are the barn owls which do not offset the loss of the snakes.

Nice photos and action sequence. I believe this is a Red-shouldered hawk.

Thanks, MalcolmP. My camera was off with lens cap on at first which made for some frantic fumbling.

Great series and presentation!

Thanks, Joe. I had dozens of shots and had a hard time choosing a few to post, which I suspect is a common malady.

Good series of the hawk in action, showing its natural behavior.
