This Saturday morning, I observed an adult Red-tailed Hawk in some strange behavior I had not seen before.
When first observed, I thought this bird was mantling it's prey.
After watching awhile, it became apparent that it was tearing the bark off this old log.? Could not tell if it ever found a grub or not.
