Artsy Red-tailed Hawk on yucca
|
We got an early start on our morning hike today, and all involved--Dr. K, Willow, Frio and me--had a good outing.
We saw the Basset Hounds with their two people descending LDR-A while we were headed up the left branch arroyo; they were the only hounds and humans we spotted during our exploration.
I photographed what I thought to be the same raptor on the same yucca I photographed yesterday, but now I'm uncertain of several things. Did I erroneously ID yesterday's hawk as a Swainson's when it was, instead, a Red-tailed, or is today's hawk a light morph Swainson's? I'm inclined to believe I misidentified yesterday's raptor, and the one I photographed today is, indeed, the same bird--a Red-tailed Hawk.
