red-tailed hawk hunting in kennedy plaza

8 Nov ’10 Filed under Red-tailed Hawks.

This voracious Red-tailed Hawk has been lunching in Burnside Park almost every day. Many people come to feed the pigeons, and when the pigeons are busy eating bread/seeds/popcorn/bagels, the hawk swoops down and picks one up from the ground. It’s amazing to witness.

      thank you, kandie. i’d recommend looking for this hawk in burnside park on cold/snowy weekend mornings when there are less people there and the hawk feels freer to hunt without being disturbed.
