Red Tail Hawk eating a snake

Here's some of the video I shot of the hawk eating a C. constrictor mormon.

No, i'm an eagle. So it really was "the eagle and the hawk"

Maybe this is why he was cool. Hahaha.

Nah, still doesn't make sense. In my brain I feel like hawks and eagles should be arch enemies. Your story isn't matching up. Starting to think you added more than just lemon to that corona.

Hahaha... You got me. Maybe he was an escaped pet. The closest place I know of with red tails is still a good 30 miles though.

That seems pretty easy if your a hawk. Maybe its a possibility, or maybe hes just a badass hawk who isn't scared of anything.

Nice video. Another hawk I have seen eating snakes is the Red-shouldered hawk.

Re: Red Tail Hawk eating a snake

Cool video! A few years ago I saw a hawk eating a rabbit it had caught. My dad found it and recorded it. It didn't really care all that much that we were there. We were standing two feet away, and it was ignoring us. Pretty cool experience.
