I heard it before I saw it, that distinctive high, descending "ke-ee-er."
So I knew I was looking for my friend, the red-tail hawk.
It was a little too far away to catch anything except the silhouette, but here's the fun part. Soon, the hawk was joined by a second one. They were not fighting, or diving at each other, so I'm thinking it was a pair. They mate for life.
I managed to get them in the same picture!

A couple may also fight, as in our world.
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that. Nice capture. I know that sound and love to watch these creatures in action.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty cool that you got them together!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea they mated for life. WTG on getting both of them in one shot!!
ReplyDeleteHappy day!
Jackie:-)
Very cool!
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteI love watching hawks. I see them quite often around here although I'm not quite sure which kind they are.
ReplyDeletei love watching hawks, and other birds, though oftentimes i am confused in identifying them :)
ReplyDeleterainfield- True enough!
ReplyDeleteChuck- I've never seen both of them together here
rosey- yes, that is the neat part of this sighting for me
Jackie- Actually, I didn't know that either, but I was trying to find out what time of year they mate. Didn't learn that, but it can't be quite yet or the chicks would be hatched in winter.
Vanilla- yes it is, yes it is!
Ann- I know a few of them. The red tails are easy.
betchai- I'm trying to sort some of them out, but the red tails are easy.
Great sighting of the two hawks. I have a hard time capturing birds in flight. But, it is still fun trying. Great photos.
