I was on my way to my mailbox this morning and look what I saw!
I'm not good at bird identification, especially when it comes to raptors. I'm thinking maybe a Red Tailed Hawk, as they are prevalent in our area. If anyone (Lisa) knows what this is, let's hear it!
These were the best shots I could get as my zoom lens was zoomed as much as it can. I didn't want to get much closer because I didn't want to interrupt his lunch. He seemed to be enjoying it so much and was not really too bothered by me.
What an exciting Animal Thursday!

P.S. I forgot to mention that he is about the size of a cat!
