Seen on the Preston Ridge Trail today
 

As were were riding the entire Preston Ridge Trail today we saw 5 red-tailed hawks at different points along the trail. It was amazing. They were hunting along several of the greenbelts and creeks. We saw lots of birds too.

Nice catch.

Excellent photo there.

I love the raptor migration time, there's one field near us that I've seen up to
8 hawks in at one time.
very nice photo.

I think this is evidence that the county/city efforts to create native habitats and greenbelts is paying off. I've seen hawks in north dallas before but it was always an isolated sighting. we saw 5 or so yesterday.

It seems the local population is way up, just in the past couple / few years.

I remember a few years back, out riding with the guys, they were rare enough that we'd stop and point every time we saw one.

Good news.
