Does anyone know if the hawk is a m or f? usually you see them in pairs...In any case, bobby you are doing a nice job documenting this wonderful addition to the park...have enjoyed all of your picks...
ReplyDeleteRed-tailed hawks are solitary creatures until (and only if) they pair bond. Then they are mates for life. You can tell the sex of the hawk by the thickness of their 'ankles'. Females have thicker ankles whereas males have more slender ones. From the looks of Tommy's legs in other photos, my guess is it's a male.
ReplyDeletethanks Roger...I've been working down in Virginia the last couple of semesters and most of the redtails I see down on the James river seem to be pairs...guess that is why there are so many of them down here...I was sad to hear about Bob...didn't know the man but his pictures made me feel like I was still connected to what was going on in the neighborhood..hope to be back after spring semester, but with the crazy rent escalations going on, might end up out in freaking red hook somewhere
