    Red-tailed Hawk in southern Colorado

    Saw this juvenile red-tailed hawk near Poncha Springs in the southern end of the Rockies in Colorado. There were quite a few red-tails and other hawks in the area when we were there near the beginning of November.

    Red Tailed Hawk

    On a walk down a very isolated gravel road that cut deep into some woods yesterday, I heard the unmistakable call of the Red Tailed Hawk. I spotted it high up in a fairly distant tree. It seemed very upset with my presence, could there be a nest with young nearby? As it was very agitated, I...

    Fortunately, there is another way to recognize Red-Tailed Hawks than by their eponymous red tails. Juveniles don't have red tails (yet), but they do already have the typical "knitted" V-necked vest.
