Started screeching at me as I got closer to the cliff. Noticed a large nest and left the area. The hawk kept circling above me and screeching until I got further away.
Beaumont, Riverside County, California
One of two specimens
Saw 1. Crows were chasing it right in front of our house.
3 Red-shouldered hawks surrounding a bird feeder. One was on a chimney, another 50 yards away in a tree line and a third, looked like a juvenile, on a fence. They were in a triangle with juvenile closest to the feeders. The one in the woods came out and flew at me within a yard of where I was standing. The close photo was of one hawk that came back soon after and did not fly away from a tree though I came near. Could this have been a hawk food source training session?
With their dinner (rabbit)
My neighbor took the third pic and said I could share it
In big cottonwood. I heard it cry overhead - think it was watching me - then it flew back to this spot where it watched me some more. Right after I took this photo an oriole flew off the tree (nesting?) and a RWBL jumped on the hawk, hawk flew off and I could see the blackbird RIDING IT'S BACK AS IT LEFT. Those blackbirds are relentless.
