AMERICAN KESTREL


December 24, 2007. This American Kestrel was kind enough to pose for me near the parking lot at Smith and Bybee Lakes. This has to be one of the best looking birds around here.

RUFOUS-MORPH RED-TAILED HAWK


December 12, 2007. Wink Gross and I found this Red-tailed Hawk on Oak Island Road near mile post 2. The head, neck and throat appeared even redder in person. This fits the Rufous-morph adult as shown in Hawks of North America by Clark and Wheeler, plate 25A in the 2nd edition.
