We were playing horse shoes (yes, I lost again…skunked once) at a small park in Sparks, NV along the Truckee River when I heard some loud squawking in the trees overhead. I finally found one of the squawkers who was calling out to her mate, he was sitting in the pine tree not far away.
Me thinks they are a pair of nesting Grey Hawks…more like I think they are Grey Hawks, I know they are nesting as I saw the nest. 🙂
And the big guy she was talking too…
The nest is on the lower left corner…
I got a bird book and binoculars for my birthday a few years back and it’s made camping trips that little bit more fun. Never seem to get any good photos tho. Yours are excellent.
Those are so gorgeous birds! Chris will love this post. Terrific pictures! 😀 (Hope the horsies are okay.)
