The red-tail hawk waited long minutes
for a bit of food while hidden in a tree
A large beetle began crawling in sight
he waited until his prey was closer
Poised for the kill and a good meal
his body stiffened swooping down
In a double flash a female hawk
plucked the beetle into her claws
As if she had not seen him her meal
was consumed as he fumed nearby
A consoling act began with her flying
over toe sit with the still hungry loser
Explore the mystery of how nature makes unexpected gifts of creative wonders to an unsuspecting caregiver one late night and early morning in southeastern Georgia, USA.
