Red Car Property: Thanksgiving Feast

Photo: Diane Edwardson, September 25, 2013.  We were too busy to run these in September, so we saved them for Thanksgiving.  A Red Tailed Hawk leisurely plucked fur from a big fat squirrel, atop a telephone pole, high above the southern end of the Red Car Property.  (Click on photos to enlarge.)

Happy Thanksgiving!
