The Bird Nuts 6,436 Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) I guess we'll end the hawk on the ground challenge...?? The next challenge I would like to do is get a photo of two hawk species flying together. Edited April 26, 2020 by The Bird Nuts 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jodi Nielson 539 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Any opinions on whether or not that was 2 different species of hawk flying together? I only got those 2 shots before they dropped below the ridgeline. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
