The Hawks can fly just fine with a full crop (sometimes they hopscotch to a few perches to find the right one to sit and digest on). I’ve seen lots of these younger Hawks find the ‘right’ perch and then veg out for a very long time (at least an hour) to digest and relax. 🙂

Good to know he was not hunting for the thrill of the chase and only when he needed a meal…which , surely he had just eaten a goodly portion, very recently.
Even w/ errands to complete, you were willing to capture the moment for us, Roger_Paw, many thanks!

Thanks, Dottie! It was such a nice and unexpected surprise. I guess I’ll have to always have my camera on me when I run errands. 🙂
