Raptor Week Day I

It’s beginning to smell a lot like Raptor-mas! This is the same Red-tailed Hawk in flight, the light playing some changes on looks.

This one, born this year, has a full crop and is enjoying some post-prandial sunshine and passing jet noise.

Another day, elsewhere in Green-Wood: possibly the same heavily-marked juvenile being harassed by a Jay.

Now an adult RT, being swooped upon by a bold Northern Mockingbird.
