I saw a sharp-shinned hawk in New Mexico nail a Woodhouse's scrub jay. The hawk held the jay on the ground for a few seconds while it thrashed its last. Then it rested while cloaking its prey with its wings outstretched. Then it carried the jay away for breakfast. I wish I'd gotten a better flight photo, but it does show the gist of the moment. #birds #birding #hawk #NaturePhotography #NewMexico #NatureRedInToothAndClaw
