 We have a pair of Red-Tailed hawks that reside in our area (not sure where they nest, but they're always on our fence, in the field, flying overhead, or even sitting on the house chimney. Noticed them out in the front yard and I wasn't sure what they were doing until I got a closer look; they are catching and eating those big june beetles (big green things). It's seasonal and they've been out in the front yard, off and on now for the past week. Funny to watch them actually chase some of the beetles to catch them. :-)
