Cole's Inference

Last time we conferred I shared the inference I made when we went bird watching. A raptor of some kind ate an animal. We saw blood on a rock. I read to find out what kind of raptors live here in spring.

Now I'm predicting it was a red-tail hawk that ate the animal. I used the map in this book, Raptor, and the raptor locator to confirm my thinking. I discovered Red-tail hawks live in this area. It was close to an open field. There are wooden posts by the area. I won't know for sure, but that's what I'm thinking based on what I read.
