Love the squirrel looking on in the top shot!
The obvious question here is; was the rat killed by the hawk or did Hawkie just happen upon it. cuz I sure hope it wasn't a poisoned rat.
Madonna vs Gaga
It's common for hawks to return to rat leftovers (prey it killed a day or so earlier). That's what I hope happened in this case! The Washington Square Park red-tails I follow and photograph usually leave their leftovers on wide branches to fetch later. This rat may have been on a branch but slipped to the ground.
"usually leave their leftovers on wide branches to fetch later."
Like Leopards of the sky! Wouldn’t it be so cool if a great horned owl pair (recent reports may have them nesting in Greenwood Cemetery and Inwood Hill Park) nested in TSP as well. Then we could have 24/7 rat kill EV Grieve coverage in TSP. Does Bobby have night vision equipment?
Except that great horned owls also eat hawks (seriously). I guess they taste just like chicken.
thanks for all the RTHawk pics, 'hawk picture taking person'! i am so totally thrilled that a RTHawk is in TSPark - who'd a thunk that such a small piece of pauvre nature could sustain one.
I-)
i don't think there are any GHOwls in TSPark.
btw, GHOwls also eat other owls.
