Trail camera footage from July 2022. A leftover mackerel head and tail are placed on a feeding platform in rural Richland County, South Carolina. Usually fish carrion brings in crows and eventually turkey vultures, but this time was a little different.

The Red Shouldered Hawk that came to eat your fish was actually a juvenile! He was looking up and down as if he knows he's being watched! Oh he definitely knew he was being watched alright! It does seem like he didn't much interest in the fish, otherwise, he would have taken it with him upon flying off! Sometimes Red Shouldered Hawk do catch fish! It does actually happen! Maybe he just preferred that fish to be a little fresher!

Thanks for your observations! And yes the hawk didn't really seem all that interested in eating the fish. There wasn't much meat on that fish head, and it wasn't all that fresh either. If the hawk had tried, he couldn't fly off with the head though, as it was nailed down.

Nailing the fish is a smart thing to do, that way it all gets within the camera's view. I know vultures are known to drag their food because they are trying to prevent others from eating it! As far as just eating the head goes, a hawk can't be too picky! As long as the food is convenient and he's in a safe area, then lunch is served!

@@JeremyThePlayer88 yes when I put something out unattached it’s often gone before the camera is even activated.
