More Red-tailed Tales

Published March 10, 2022 Uncategorized 1 Comment
A 2021 model Red-tailed Hawk grabs… a pinecone!
A couple of people have reported seeing what is presumably the same bird playing on the ground, grabbing clumps of leaves.
Ah, but is it all play? Another Red-tail comes down to take a look. These two then spent quite a while chasing each other in the air afterwards.
The youngster, by the way, flew with a pinecone. Must have dropped it on the other side of a hill, because eventually this bird pulled off another cone from atop the pine and tried to laterally pass it to the other Red-tail. The cone hit the ground uncaught.
Before this was all over, there five Red-tails in the air around me.
