Red-shouldered Hawk Eating Snake
Shark Valley, Everglades National Park, Miami, Florida
We got to Shark Valley by dawn, and rode our bikes into the park. Right away Nancy saw this Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus) swoop down to the empty parking lot and pick up a snake. It then flew up onto a nearby branch to eat it. It didn't seem to mind us getting close enough to get some good pictures. The hawk peeled back the skin and devoured the snake in no time.
