This and the next 2: young Red-tailed Hawk |
Along the way I spotted a raptor in an Ocotillo, and I tried to angle around for a special shot--the hawk juxtaposed alongside the Tortugas Mountain Observatory--but the bird took off before I could attempt the capture. From the looks of its short tail and wedge of red in the tail feathers I believe it's a young Red-tailed Hawk.
After a brief water break in First Arroyo we turned around and headed back to the waiting CR-V in the upper flatland.

Nice photos of the Red-tailed Hawk. Even though it wasn't a cooperative subject, you were still able to get some nice shots.
