August 29, 2014: Red-tailed Hawk
This juvenile Red-tailed Hawk was found perched in a snag along the
Upland Trail, just west of Jensen Pond. The photo on the left was taken
on 8/26 while the right photo was taken on 8/27. Note the full crop
(bulge on the upper chest) on the 27th, indicating
that the hawk had recently eaten. (It's possible that this hawk is one
of the two raised on Park property.) 8/27/14 (Wolf. Oesterreich)
