Michelle Summers Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Hard to choose, but I'll just go with the Krider's, because it's special :) 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered about that, but I still had it marked as RTHA. Well, I'll just have to pic another one :) Thanks!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 This is definitely one where it is super difficult to post just one photo. Having lived in Colorado for a number of years while a birder I saw sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many Red-tailed Hawks. Colorado had all the variations too, Harlan's, Dark morph, Light morph, Krieders plus a leucistic one. Winter especially was good for Red-tailed Hawks. Yes, they have them year round in Colorado but many more would just spend the winter. I have photos of all these and some of babies. I actually had a nesting pair I kept an eye on for years as they nested in the same location every year. One year their nest blew down and I thought for sure they would not return as we all know they do not build their own nests. But, the pair I speak of did return at least to the same stand of trees. Yep we have them here in Florida too but not nearly as a abundant as they are in Colorado. I don't think they even match Colorado's summer population. I didn't look to see for sure but I think the photo below came from near DIA which was a superb area in the winter for finding Hawks, Eagles and Falcons. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestranger Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Maybe not my best, but definitely my most unique Red-tailed Hawk photo. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Another one where it is very difficult to pick just one! Like with the Red-tailed Hawk prior Great-horned Owls were abundant in Colorado and easy to find. I have photos of both the lighter Taiga and the more intermediate Eastern variations. I have photos of young ones ranging from still in the nest to almost independent. I choose this one because it is a good photo but all a great memory for me. As for Florida where I live now they maybe abundant but they are not easy to find as there is just way too darn much vegetation. I have seen them but very few and far between. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
