Love me some raptors, the Red Tail is my favorite, lots of 'em down here in the Austin, Texas area. We call 'em chicken hawks.
I was a truck driver in a previous life, and made 3 trips a week from Austin to Dallas. When they are diving for prey, they are so focused on the "business at hand", that they are often killed by trucks on the interstates.
Around this time of year I once saw 26 of 'em in about 3 hours, must of been mating season or something, saw lots of pairs flying together.
Really nice pictures.
Thanks,
Coyote
