Another Red-tailed Hawk - This Pretty Hawk Played Hide & Seek With Me Today in Tillamook, Oregon. Diving Out of a Huge Tree.
Today was an incredibly beautiful winter day in Oregon.
We spent the day driving over the Oregon Coastal Range to spend the day in Tillamook, playing on the beach with our doggies.
On the way to the ocean, we must have seen at least a dozen Red-tailed Hawks in trees, on power poles, on road signs, and flying around the fields. We also saw a few Bald Eagles, but the Hawks easily outnumbered the Eagles on this beautiful day.
This particular Hawk was quite a big boy (or girl, as I don't know how to sex these birdies). In comparison, a few minutes earlier, an adult Cooper's Hawk flew out of this same tree and it looked like a small babe in comparison to this large Red-tailed Hawk. Both were beautiful birds.
What a wonderful day for raptor watching!
