Images from:

1 BENITO (YOUNG RED-TAILED HAWK) HERE IS A NEW YOUNG RED-TAILED HAWK FRIEND THAT ALWAYS SEEMS TO GREET ME WHEN I GO TO MY LOWER YARD. THIS IS FROM A WEEK AGO. (Benito said that he knows this isn’t necessarily an Easter photo, but I told him that at least it has flowers, so it will pass. Besides, you can’t very well put bunny ears on a hawk!)
2 FarmWife (Kippa) This is Kippa right before she chewed her ears. Wanted to get a better picture of her but she didnt want to cooperate.
3 Truckbuddy (Sammy)
4 Buster Brown (Harris)

Not Easter related, but very topical:

5 forcibly rearranged (Logan) Logan refuses to obey Gov. Bollock’s stay at home order.

  15. Red tailed hawks can exhibit interesting behaviors. A few years ago I had just arrived home when I heard the whistling sound they make. Looked up to the sky and saw 3 hawks flying in a perfect circle, 120 degrees apart, as the circle drifted north east. This lasted about one minute until one hawk broke off and flew away. The other 2 continued to fly in a circle, 180 degrees apart, for another few minutes before breaking from the circle and both flying off in the same direction. I hadn’t a clue about the purpose of the activity. Maybe it was just for fun.

    Another time along a highway I saw a red tailed hawk slowly descending toward the ground at about a 45 degree angle. When he was about 3 feet above ground he flared his wings and slowly dropped vertically to the ground. It seemed to be to slow to be for the purpose to catch a field mouse. It was beautiful precision flying.
