I scored a first as far a camera trapped goes last week. I caught a Red-Tailed Hawk making a kill in front of the camera at the Mountain Pond. I'm not sure but I believe that it caught a squirrel. There appears to be a little bit of a brownish bushy tail sticking up above the log in the second pic. The squirrels like to run along the top of the log. I'm guessing this is one of the hawks favorite hunting grounds because I've seen it around this area before and found a hawk feather on the trail leading to the pond a couple of weeks ago.

beautiful red tail! one less scamper rat in the woods. i think i need to hire some red tails here. my dogs are not keeping up in this heat!
What a cool set of pictures!
Such thrills to see what the camera captures!
Exciting! Great capture on your cam, Joe. :)
Wow! What a fantastic capture!
How cool!?
Great shots, Joe!
Very cool!
I am always excited to open your new posts! Hope it was a quick, clean kill.
Excellent capture. Is that area at the camera pretty open or is thick like the trees in the background. Certainly not what we think of as typical West Coast RTH habitat. Very exciting.
That's awesome stuff there!!! Wow!
Wow, that's cool, Joe! That's not something you see every day! The tree rats need to have a warning sign on that tree crossing.
Wow! That was quick; all within a minute. Fresh, hot dinner.
OH.... :( Did he get it?
Great capture, very nice.
JK - It's more open to the left of the camera.
These may be some of your best!!
It's tough to get a "first" after being a camera trapper for a while. Great photos!!!!
Awesome capture! I often wonder what I would see if I set one of these up in my own backyard. I'm sure I would get quite the captures of my boys and their antics.
On second thought...I will continue to sit back and enjoy yours;))
Oh is there anything more beautiful then a hawk? Thanks Joe. B
How awesome to capture this! You just never know what you're going to see on film
Amazing captures!
