Ferruginous Hawk With Rabbit

Rocky Mountain Arsenal NWR, CO

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a hawk dive - on closer inspection, I realized it was a ferruginous hawk with a fresh-caught cottontail rabbit. The rabbit strayed too far from its burrow in search of food and wound up feeding a hawk...and later a coyote. Buteo regalis
