Birds, Mud and Tea
Today was hawk sighting day. I saw a harrier, a red-shouldered and a red-tailed hawk plus 2 others I couldn't identify. I'm also pretty sure I saw a golden eagle on the river, near where they nest.

Difference Engine: Up with the hawks
[inline|iid=25389] AS THEY do elsewhere in North America, red-tailed hawks hunt in pairs along the edge of the Santa Monica Mountains, circling slowly in the updrafts in their search for prey. From afar, they could be mistaken for turkey vultures. Show More Summary

Difference Engine: Up with the hawks
AS THEY do elsewhere in North America, red-tailed hawks hunt in pairs along the edge of the Santa Monica Mountains, circling slowly in the updrafts in their search for prey.

We Don’ Need No Steenkeeng Rehabbers
The other night I went out to rescue a great big Red-tailed Hawk, who turned out to be a tiny little Sharp-shinned Hawk. The woman did call me, for which I am grateful, although she did it after she spotted the little bird standing on the floor of her garage and swept it out the [...]

Redtails in Tornados
Yet another Red-tailed Hawk! Two friends were driving down a winding country road in the pouring rain, listening to the radio announcer warn that a tornado could be heading our way.

Next time you find the light fading and resign yourself to a night sky filled with owls and bats, remember that some diurnal denizens like to stay out late too.
