Suburban Hunter

Red-tailed Hawk

We visited Omaha, Nebraska over the weekend. For lunch one day we stopped at a restaurant in a suburban shopping center. This Red-tailed Hawk was present the entire time, hunting from atop the light poles. It perched for a while, and then flew off to scan the area before returning to land on a different pole. I think it tried nearly all the shopping center's light poles in the ninety minutes we were there.
