did you watch it eat it's prey?  At my weekend place up north I watched a red tail catch a sparrow land on my bushes and eat the entire bird-(after the meal I had to go check because my dog likes to 'snuffle' and do his stuff there and I did not want him to eat a bird bone-I had no camera on me at the moment and was afraid to move to go get one......fascinating.

Unfortunately, the mockingbirds drove it off, with the remains.
