Gary, these are beautiful shots of the young red-tails. I especially like the one where the bird is landing on the gravestone. I'm temporarily living in a house that backs up to a very nice cemetery. Last Spring, a pair of Cooper's hawks fledged from a nest in one of the large trees in the cemetery. For a couple of weeks, I watched them practice their flying around the memorial park. Throughout the day we could hear them calling to each other...lots of fun. jack
Thank you very much Jack. Cemeteries are fantastic places to see wildlife especially if it has a fresh water source! I love watching hawk fledglings trying to fly. I saw a Red Tail crash into a Pine Tree up side down once. Once I saw it was ok, I laughed out loud! Gary
