During the last week Sally and I have been observing the mating ritual of these two Red Shouldered Hawks.All of the in-flight shots are the male performing for the female. It is also the male who is grasping the female from behind but they are not mating but simply a show of force from the male. When they mate they tumble to the ground. Enjoy the downloads....
Nice set of images

Great series. You must be somewhere to the south of me as my local Red-shoulders won't be doing this for a few months yet.

They are our most common hawk here but we really had to seek them out to get this sequence. Thanks shutterhawk!
