Late Afternoon Hunting, Eating and Roosting

This time of year, it's common to see one of the adults hunting at dusk, eat their bedtime snack and then go of to roost.  Tonight this happened just as expected.

The rats come out just before dusk making hunting easy for the Red-tailed Hawk.  Unfortunately, local squirrel lovers grossly overfeed the squirrels in this area and end up supporting a large rat colony.
