This red-tailed hawk was sitting on a tree on the west side of the Fox River just north of the pedestrian bridge at Violet Patch Park on Rt 25 in Oswego, Illinois.  There was not much bird or animal activity across the road at the disc golf course at Civic Center Park, and I was glad to see this hawk.

 

The diet of the red-tailed hawk is 85%-95% rodents. I don't believe they are known for fishing, but early in the year I saw one carrying a fish to another tree in this area.
