Red-Tailed Hawk Hunting in Whitby

This is surely the most photographed hawk in Durham, because its not every day that you find one who doesn't care that he's hunting with a human audience.  He definitely has a preference for Eastern Grey Squirrels.

Not the face that a squirrel wants to see in a tree

Waiting for the pounce

Majestic beauty

Another poor squirrel down

It's not visible in this photo, but he has another squirrel in his talons
