I love hawks, and by virtue of living out here am pretty good at identifying them. A red-tailed hawk diving onto a pasture then flying off again with a tree-foot bullsnake is quite a sight to see. On the other hand, as powerful as they are, I've never understood how they allow three or four red-wing blackbirds or other little birds to chase them away through the sky.
