Red-tailed Hawk Violates Refuge Regs

Steve just returned from a week in Klamath Falls, Oregon, the location for this season’s USFWS directorate meeting, held at the Running Y Ranch. He shot this photo of a red-tailed hawk at the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge, in California. Historically, Lower Klamath Lake straddled Oregon and California, but now the majority of its marshes exist only in California. This hawk is potentially in violation of refuge regulations -- we think he's hunting voles!
