Lunchtime for the Red-Tailed Hawk

Today Joan noticed the crows making lots of noise. Well, they usually do that, but this time it was loud and angry. She discovered that a red-tailed hawk was in the trees at the edge of the woods eating lunch. I grabbed my camera and gently opened the back door. The hawk gave me enough time for two pictures, one with better exposure, and then decided he didn't care for my looks, flying deeper into the woods to complete his repast.
If you click on the photo, you can see some meat in the hawk's beak, and that the victim is a bird with white underparts and pink legs and feet. I can't identify it, though.
