I've definitely noticed their preferences for hunting, as well as their neat practice of hunting in groups, but I did not know that they were an introduced species. <br /><br />I agree, they're really beautiful birds, ones that, perhaps because of their limited range and non-migratory nature, don't seem to be mentioned enough in the larger discussions of North American raptors.Laurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791077723521794200.post-7014968239426593302012-07-03T17:54:44.671-07:002012-07-03T17:54:44.671-07:00It's really blazing by here (in all possible s...It's really blazing by here (in all possible senses of the word: heat, fires, speed).

They aren't native here and were brought in with the cattle ranchers during the early days. As long as there was water, they found ways to stay cool during the day and did their hunting at dawn and dusk. And from my observations this summer, I can always count on them at sundown flying around hunting. They are so beautiful! This year has been a good year for many birds of prey and it has been exciting to watch it all go on. Nice shots of these magnificent birds!Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791077723521794200.post-65156688233012114682012-07-03T13:43:39.905-07:002012-07-03T13:43:39.905-07:00I'd love to see Harris's Hawks, on netting...I'd love to see Harris's Hawks, on netting or anywhere really!
