Failing to Feed a Red Shouldered Hawk Raw Steak 3/11/21

This happened only a block away from my house. A Red Shouldered Hawk was standing at the fence across the street. I tossed the raw steak after placing my hand on the ground, then waving it before throwing it. Unfortunately, the steak was frozen solid since I just took it out of the freezer! The steak landed on the ground, but the hawk didn't move. I then kept walking without looking back. I turned around after I passed a bunch of trees, and a winding road. I then crossed the street where the hawk was. The hawk had moved from that spot to another fence with its back turned away from me. I crossed the street to locate the steak, but I wasn't able to find it. My grandma said that the hawk never crossed the street but flew onto the grass to hunt for grubs. Then after a few seconds, that's when it landed on the other fence.

One thing's for sure, I'm NOT giving up. I'm going to keep trying and trying. What I need to do is find a dead snake or a mouse on the grass and give that to the hawk, that would be PERFECT! I now realize the hawks here in Saint Marys, GA are the most simplest hawks you can think of.
