Field Notes

Description:

A family of RSH has been nesting in my backyard this year. While they are ordinarily shy, I managed to get some shots of this one hunting off my trash can! It spotted and caught either a large worm or a very small snake (we have Dekay's snakes all over the place!) under a leaf on the curb.

Habitat:

In my front yard.
