This Red-tailed Hawk was keeping an eye on his meal when a Magpie tried to come in and steal it. The hawk swooped down and chased the magpie off.
I was setting up to capture the sun setting behind Hallett Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park when this magnificent Bull Elk emerged from the forest with his harem of cows. He hung out with me for about 30 minutes, then disappeared back into the forest.
The ever bold Magpie kept harassing the Red-Tailed Hawk, trying to get some of the freshly killed rabbit. Here he actually pulled on the hawk's tail feathers.
