I was driving down a rural road in South Texas and stopped to see birds gathered around a road-killed rabbit on the road. A car came whizzing by me and the bird scattered. I got the following photo of the birds reconverging on the rabbit carcass. There are 7 caracara, 2 turkey vultures (the large birds with the red heads), and one Harris's Hawk (the bird on the left).
The Harris's hawk immediately stood on the carcass which was gradually pulled out into the surrounding field. The vultures flew off into the field, while the hawk fought off the caracaras. The only caracaras that dared to challenge the hawk were the juveniles, who didn't know any better.
Here is a photo that showed the final distribution of birds around the rabbit carcass. The hawk was standing on the carcass chasing off a juvenile caracara. The vultures were out in the field a distance away.
That first photo is amazing - great quality and really captures the melee!
