If possible they do prefer little fresher than buzzard but they ain't gonna starve. Very nice pic seeing more hawks around here last 3 or 4 yearsSomehow a possum was hit on our road, probably on purpose, and he has been food for the local redtail popuation. A redtail was chewing on him when I came back from hunting on Tuesday morning.
When I told my wife about it she didn't know that redtails and bald eagles were scavengers just like a buzzard. I guess they have a more regal presentation and better press than an ol' stinkin buzzard.
I was recently surprised to see a Bald Eagle at a roadkill deer along side Falls Lake...camera was locked in the trunk of course...nothing left except bare ribs.Somehow a possum was hit on our road, probably on purpose, and he has been food for the local redtail popuation.
