American Kestrel enjoying dinner. This American Kestrel was trying to keep warm on a cold winter's day in Farmington Bay Utah. I enjoyed watching her hunt, she would take off from her perch and grab a small vole, then land on top of this wooden fence post and eat it. She would then go back over to her perch and clean herself up, ready to go again.
This male Harrier Hawk was on patrol over Farmington Bay, looking for something tasty to eat. He had fun harassing the Bald Eagles and the female harrier hawks. Occasionally he would spy his quarry and swoop down to make the kill. Then he was off again patrolling for more.
This female Harrier Hawk decided it was in her best interest to fly off when a mature Bald Eagle was coming in to take her food on a cold winters day in February on the banks of Farmington Bay Utah.
