I was surprised to learn that rattlesnake remains regularly show up in red-tailed hawks nests. The red-tailed hawk has developed a method to deal with this dangerous prey. It will land near the snake, and open both wings, sometimes fluttering one or both. This move will distract the attention of the snake to the open wings. If the snake should make a strike, it is more likely that the rattlesnake will go for the open wing feathers, rather than the body of the hawk. According to Dr. Charles Preston’s book Red-tailed Hawk, the hawk typically uses it’s talons to grab the snake in the middle of its body, then makes a quick bite to the head.
