Red-Tailed Hawk, Prey: Photo Of The Day
A golf excursion turned into a birder's delight when this hawk stopped for a meal at the golf course.
![If you look closely, this red-tailed hawk is standing on its prey, a squirrel, in Mountain View, Calif.](https://patch.com/img/cdn20/users/21854731/20221122/110828/styles/patch_image/public/red-tailed-hawk2___22110649320.jpg)
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — Jim Erickson keeps an eye out for wildlife while playing at Moffett Field golf course. Yesterday Patch featured a bald eagle photo from Jim. Today he has a red-tailed hawk that he photographed in October. Jim told Patch in an email, " This large Red Tailed hawk did not want to leave the squirrel it had captured and allowed me to get close enough for this photo."
Thank you for this amazing photo, Jim!
