Yes, very likely a red-tailed. Nice sharp captures of a somewhat gruesome but awesome sight! Exquisite lighting to boot! Good job!

Hmmmm.....looks more like a Ferruginous Hawk to me, but it's so tough to tell. Nice shots though, whatever it is, it's cool!

Wow--very nice captures! You must have been quite close. I've found when they have dinner you can get pretty close.

Cracking shots; shot 2 looks almost 3D. Send some of those hawks over here. Grey squirrels are real pests in the UK.
