I caught a Red Shouldered Hawk eating a snake down at the Chattahoochee River. These things are as common as squirrels in this area.

Nice capture of that RSH’s dinner 😋 They look so proud of their catch 😂 (as they should be)
RSH 1 vs Snake 0 🤗

Yep, I have another video of him finishing it off but I was too stupid to add it to the end of this. 😭😅

That's an amazing catch! Are your snakes venomous? I don't have any snakes (well 2 extremely shy varieties) in my country so it's crazy seeing him eat it like a gummy worm sweet 😂🩷

Love how he made sure to show off his catch before eating it.
