Chris Stinson did a master's thesis in zoology at the U of WA on the diet of red-tailed hawks at a nest around Easton, WA, and as I recall the pair fed almost entirely on garter snakes.
Last year Kris Baker and I saw a snake being swallowed by a great blue heron at Nisqually; Kris says she's also seen an Iowa kestrel carry a garter snake about 2 feet long to its nest!
