Red-tailed hawks are common throughout most of North America and occur in a wide and confusing variety of subspecies and color phases.
This dark-morph individual lives near the San Jacinto Wildlife Area in southern California; over the years I've photographed it many times (see this page) and it has become somewhat tolerant of my presence. In these somewhat gory images it's eating a pocket gopher, a common prey of these common hawks.
