Hawk and Snake
September 19, 2014
photographed by Richard Gardner
These are photos of a snake and the hawk it brought down mid-afternoon
on September 19, 2013.
The location is the SGL 110 PA game lands service road from Mountain
Road, Tilden Township, Berks County, PA to the Auburn Overlook on the
Appalachian Trail. I was about ½ mile up the mountain from the lower
parking lot.
Apparently the hawk picked up the snake without biting its head off. The
snake wrapped around the hawk and brought it down. Both probably
survived the event. The last photo is the snake an hour or so later.
