[Tweeters] Fw: M St Red-tails

[MARVIN BREECE]

The RED-TAILED HAWK subspecies bonanza continues at M Street in Auburn.  In the past three days combined, including today, I have seen Western, Eastern, Northern, Light Harlan's and Dark Harlan's.  I would not have thought this possible.  Today I again saw the Light Morph Harlan's and the Northern.

Yesterday (12.13.23<http://12.13.23>) among the many Red-tailed Hawks at M Street in Auburn were a LIGHT MORPH HARLAN'S RED-TAILED HAWK and a NORTHERN RED-TAILED HAWK.  I first saw the Harlan's at this location on Dec 10 and the Northern on Nov 18.  The Northern Red-tailed Hawk is a proposed split from Eastern Red-tailed Hawk.

One 12.10.23<http://12.10.23> video shows the Northern displacing the Harlan's from its perch.  A Western is also in the video.


There is also a variety of our WESTERN RED-TAILED HAWK, both juvenile and adult, no 2 looking alike.  One often seen adult is quite pale for a Western.



Do not drive beyond the gate, even if it is unlocked.  It is usually locked and you may get locked in.  M Street is off of NW 15th St  (not SW 15th St) between Emerald Downs and Hwy 167 in Auburn.
