:yes: And we laugh ALOT! We were having a great time following the Red-tailed hawks from one telephone pole to the next. We'd spot one, pull over get our cameras up and they'd take off either flying across a field to a tree or down to another pole. It was great fun! We had to have seen more than a dozen RTHs. ;D

Osprey, Belted Kingfisher, and redtail! Life doesn't get better than that, at least outside peregrine nesting season.

Nice stuff. Did you notice that the RTH in #13 is banded! I was at Braddock Bay last week for the RTH Watch and saw a bunch of RTH banded at their banding station. Cool stuff!

The RTH with the band was one that we followed from pole to pole. Interesting, neither MAK nor I spotted the band when we were watching. I don't have any pics cuz I was the crazy lady stopping suddenly on the side of the road. The minute those red-tails see my lens...they take off. MAK is more subtle...she blends in with the passenger window, or through the sunroof.
The RTH was an adult, so I wonder if this was one of Braddock Bay bandings from a previous year?
