I was surprised (actually kind of shocked) to see a Red-tailed Hawk with
them sitting right on top of the carcas eating big chunks of Venison.
Has anyone else seen this sort of behavior?
Yes, many times.
In the hardest winters, I've put out chicken and/or beef and everybody
comes, Red-tailed, Red-shouldered, crows, starlings, Vultures-black & turkey.
Of course the Starlings & crows wait on the outside of the eating circle
until the big guys move away.
Last year, in a field about 1/2 from here, some hunters left what they
didn't want from a deer kill. All of the above showed up plus two Bald Eagles.
