Harassed by a Scrub Jay at mid-day. |

Face to face during a meal. |

Investigating the flowers in Sutro Heights Park. |

|
With a gopher in tow, this juvenile sets out for a rooftop on which to finish her meal. |
|
|
|
| ||||
|
Another method for transporting gophers - only safe to use when the gopher has already passed on. |

Patch returned to Alta Plaza Park and spent some time wandering the grounds. For more on this urban hawk CLICK HERE |

Well and truly gripped. This is the first gopher I ever photographed this hawk catching. Luckily it all transpired on the hillside next to me. |

|
One of my favorite moments - a close view of a bird on the hunt. |
|
|
|
| ||||
|
The best thing about San Francisco is being able to witness moments like this. |

Finally touching down... the last photo in the series. Hope you enjoyed the RTH review. Thanks for looking. |
