Red-Tailed Hawk

Walking back to the motorcycle after taking pictures from the viaduct, I seen this hawk land on a street light. This was shot from across the street.

I was able cut that distance in half, before I scared it off. But it only flew to the next street light. From there it glided down, caught some small critter in the grass, then flew right back up to the street light to eat it. I tried to photography all of this, but my shutter speed was around 1/13th of a second,  and they were all blurry.
