I've just been watching a red-tailed hawk soaring over the ridge I can see from our upstairs window. I noticed it was carrying something, which I then saw it drop and catch again. Turns out it was a pine cone.
I assume it is a juvenile improving it's dexterity. Very cool behaviour to observe.
Hopefully at some point it comes closer on a brighter day and I can get a better shot! You can just about tell there is a bird and cone in these, but not much detail.
