Under Attack! Northern Harrier; Bird of Prey

[Freedom]

I have bird feeders in the back yard, and I keep them filled from late October through mid May. We get lots of sparrows, chickadees, and dark eyed juncos. This year we have three PAIRS of cardinals (3 rec males, 3 brown / gold females). Of course we get squirrel raiders, seen as many as 3 squirrels out there at a time. We have one downy woodpecker:



And we have ONE unwelcome visitor who also comes to "dine" in our backyard. Been trying to get a photo for a while, and finally did!



I think maybe it is a red tail hawk, not positive.


The "suicidal squirrel" who drove Sugar crazy all last Spring, and who has appeared here on PT numerous times, was also present. He was NOT chattering as he does with the dogs and cats, however. Guess he does have SOME brains!


Unfortunately, the bird of prey DOES dine here sometimes; we find the pile of feathers and tiny bones to prove it.
