I arrived just after the redtail nailed this coot walking on the ice while I was cruising Bosque del Apache NWR in the afternoon.

I didn't have to wait long to see another dinner guest arrive. The raven looked famished but wasn't that brave!

sweet AL - that crow is being careful. A couple years ago, we had 2 young red tails who had a gray squirrel up on top of my kid's swing set. They were trying to figure out how to eat it and having a tug of war - hilarious - wish I had a camera at the time. Later, in the summer, we saw the same two trying to catch a squirrel in a pine tree. They were working together and really moving, flying through banches etc. but they never did get the squirrel. I have a feeling that the one on the swing set was road kill !
