I went back to the Red Tail Hawk's nesting sites in hopes of getting pictures of their nestlings. Unfortunately I didn't even get to see them, never mind get some photos of them, but I did get these pictures of the adults. They were not too happy with me, or a Swainson's Hawk that circled too close to the nest site.

Most of the time it was the male Red Tail that circled around me trying to get me to leave the area, but once it was the female to the left, who is much larger.
If you double click on the pictures to enlarge them you will have a closer view of these beautiful birds.
Enjoy!
