He looked too small and not red-tailed enough to me to be a red tailed hawk, but if the younger ones look that different, then you're probably right!SkyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149622862975962200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224556886142717176.post-48939443098646408002013-09-12T10:34:17.944-07:002013-09-12T10:34:17.944-07:00Very interesting area.

I've lived here all my life (63 yrs. so far!) and have never been in that area (except the observatory).<br /><br />That moon & yucca photo is wonderful!<br /><br />I believe that was a red-tailed hawk--probably a juvenile. Red-tails can be tricky to ID because they have a lot of variations in plummage depending on age and time of year.Linda Navrothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502650635226830385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224556886142717176.post-47461405119738561662013-07-26T23:37:17.291-07:002013-07-26T23:37:17.291-07:00I have read that there used to be more water comin...I have read that there used to be more water coming down here--all condensation from the A/C units in the Observatory. Don't know if it's true, but the water is definitely low, now.SkyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149622862975962200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224556886142717176.post-17342245489818504132013-07-23T17:05:17.390-07:002013-07-23T17:05:17.390-07:00I hiked this trail many years ago and really enjoy...I hiked this trail many years ago and really enjoyed it.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17641583831560369417noreply@blogger.com
