Bingo.

Red-tailed Hawk

That, my friends, is a red tail.

I found the nest! One advantage to working super early on the 10th floor, I’m up with the birds.

Later in the day, I found a better vantage point of the nest. But no one was home. I’ll check back another day.

Earlier this same week there was Red-tailed drama in the sky.

Upon closer inspection on the second bird…

Flight

White breast, blackish barred undersides, dark mustache visible – that’s a Peregrine Falcon! In the Lloyd District!

Okay, then. Wow. I will have to keep an eye out for that one.

In cuter, fluffier news. I found a Bushtit nest!

Sadly, I did not have the camera poised when the birds were flying to-from the nest and I had to get back to work before they came back. Next time!

And finally, a Rock Pigeon, because this is a bird walk in the city after all.
