Today's Whistle Pig hunt was not only welcomed by the local Ranchers... but this Hawk who enjoyed a fresh meal from one of my kills...

| Cool video! He certainly seemed to enjoy his lunch. Were you shooting (the video) through a spotting scope? |

| Yep... I cut over half the video out because I could not keep the cam lined up with the scope... I need to make another mounting bracket. |

We have a resident hawk that snatches field mice in broad day light.
Cool bird. |

Youdaddyjoe, The bird in your video is a Crested Caracara.
I’m not sure where you live, but the Caracara’s range is only in Texas for the most part. A few are seen in Florida and Arizona.
Here in South Texas, we see them eating road kill on the back roads. Some people call them a Mexican Eagle, but they are members of the Falcon family.
Nice video and good shot of mother nature.  |

I just seen in your post 2 fer1 whistle pigs and you said you hunted in SW Idaho.
If that is where the video was shot at, then the Caracara was a long was from his home. 
Weird things happen in the bird world.  |

God knows... all of SW Idaho is a "Birds of Prey" sanctuary.
Don't even get caught pointing a gun at any of them.
Last year on our Hells Canyon Jet Boat Tour we spotted several bald eagles. |

That was a awesome video
Bald Eagles are the craziest birds I've seen...I see them every once in awhile when driving about 1.5hrs north of where I live (in Canada  )  |

My best Bald Eagle sighting was when we were driving into Lake Shasta.
He was crusing about 6' outside of the driver's side window as I drove into the canyon. I almost wrecked the car watching him instead of the road.
Friggin camera was packed with the rest of the gear in the back of my van... |
