Red Tailed Hawks

 

This is my first photo of red tailed hawks taken with my good camera and zoom this year. I took it in very low early morning light.

This is one of the two youngsters, they left the nest about three weeks ago, now only coming back for an occasional visit to eat their food.

One day soon they will vanish and find a new place to live.

Here is a picture of the sibling, which has a much lighter morph as you can see. 

This picture was taken from much farther away, not nearly as sharp.
