The Lizard and the Hawks, Sony A1/Sony Alpha1, 4k/60p

This video begins with Papa Red-Shouldered Hawk dropping a Green Anole Lizard into the nest. It's hard to see what's going on down in the nest, but before too long, one of baby hawks has the entire, intact lizard completely down its throat with only the tail hanging out. Unfortunately, the baby isn't big enough to finish swallowing it.

Mama bails out baby by pulling out the lizard, and she starts to feed pieces of the lizard to all three babies. But, once again, one of the babies gets the whole lizard (minus a few pieces) down its throat, and once again, Mama pulls it out.

There is more feeding by Mama, and finally, at the end you can see one of the babies eat the lizard tail.
