I saw this Hawk eating an Opossum in a field near my home here in Arkansas. Not one to miss an opportunity, I immediately headed back to my house to grab my camera. To my relief, the hawk was still there when I returned, feasting away.
I pulled over my car and made my way as close as possible to the scene. I held my camera and lens firmly with my hands, capturing stunning shots of the hawk as it dined on its meal.
