Red-tailed Hawk Having Lunch in Downtown S.F.

Red-tailed Hawk Eating Lunch

Red-tailed Hawk at lunch in downtown San Francisco

photo series by Glenn Nevill

I discovered this unbelievable story in the Yahoo group of “Raptor Watch” and just had to post it here. This is a photo of a Red-tailed Hawk having its lunch on a downtown sidewalk in San Francisco, California. As you can see from this photo there are several people standing around looking on, not really knowing what to do or what to think about this event.

I think this photo series deserves a warning that some of the photos are graphic so, for those of you who may be squeemish about this sort of thing, you have been warned. Just remember, raptors are birds of prey and they are part of the food chain. Most raptors feed on birds, small mammals, reptiles and insects. This is a normal process of nature.

You can also see some super raptor photos at Glenn’s page here:

He has some incredible photos of Peregrine Falcons that you have to see to believe! For your convenience, I have listed Glenn’s page in the blogroll also.
