Some shots of the Red-Tailed Hawk July 2, 2010

Adult - she was screaming on the pole. Please note: that I take the photos with a 400mm lens and do a 50% crop on all my shot. It may appear that the hawks are very close to me but they are not.

Female Red-Tailed Hawk brings in dinner July 2, 2010

Female Red-Tailed hawk came in with dinner while I was there. She was sitting on the construction site with the food. All 3 chased her trying to grab it.



Food is dropped and as usual the female juvenile takes it all. The other two keep on crying for food.

Flying with the juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk June 2, 2010

today the hawks were flying all over the place. They were also flying so low that horns were honking. Very scary watching them do this. when they are high they are beautiful.

The 3 juveniles are getting bolder and bolder June 30, 2010

When I arrived today it was to see one red tail walking in the middle of the receiving lot. Getting lots of attention. The other 2 were flying so low that you could see people wanting to duck. Bob and I had a nice view of two of them.




Notice the shadow of the hawk on the white wall.

When I arrived this juvenile was walking on the ground under the nest. He had just eaten and jumped on the tree branch and was wiping his beak. I noticed his tongue was also out. Not a great shot but very different.

2 of the juveniles were in the nest the whole evening - crying for food

Juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk on the ground June 26, 2010

Carol and I were treated to the youngest red-tailed hawk landing on the ground. He was playing, eating bugs and then flew straight at Carol to cross the road. I yelled duck and she didn't move. She had this look of happiness and wonder (I know weird eh) that the hawk had come so close and she could feel him pass her.
