Dan P Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Photos taken around noon on 8-9-2020 at Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve in Van Nuys, CA. Is the larger one a juvenile red-tailed hawk, and what is the smaller raptor flying with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 The smaller raptor has blue wings and a red tail -- there's only one choice for that combo. For the larger one, note the precise tail pattern and color. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
