This red-tailed hawk swooped onto a sign on campus, surveyed the area briefly, and flew off. It's prime mating season for them now, so maybe it was looking for a mate- or for some prey (watch out little birds!)
What a wonderful capture! These birds do seem to adapt even to urban settings although I can’t help but feel that they would do better in a more natural setting. I’m still glad to see that they do seem to be able to survive here.
