The Hawk and the Snake

April 24, 2026

We were all in our usual places watching the water for action. Immediately in front of us are concrete posts spaced several feet apart. Beyond that are low bushes, grasses and reeds right up and into the lake water. As we watched, a hawk flew into the low bush in front of us and grabbed a snake. The hawk tussled with the snake behind foliage where we couldn’t see what was happening. Then they both flew up and off to another bushy area. It was very dramatic especially because it happened right in front of us!

Next we have an Osprey dive that is full of drama.

You can see the fish in the water below his talons
Success!

Here we have a juvenile eagle.

Hope you enjoyed the show.

Stay safe. XO
