Recently I semi-promised not to post any more Red-tailed Hawks for a while but when sex is involved promises are often broken. Today’s post is no exception.
I’ve been waiting for the new edition of this book for a very long time. The second edition has been out of print for years and even used copies have been very difficult to come by.
Last week in northern Utah a pair of Swainson’s Hawks mated right in front of me. I’ve seen it happen fairly often over the years but this time they were close, I had good light, an unobstructed view and my camera was ready. I couldn’t believe my good fortune.
