Just Kids – Sunday Hawks

Sunday, I found two immature hawks, a Cooper’s Hawk and a Red-tailed Hawk on Pilgrim Hill.  The smaller Cooper’s Hawk was chasing the Red-tailed Hawk!  They made their way southeast to the lawn above the Zoo around 70th Street.  The Red-tailed Hawk hid in a low tree, and the Cooper’s Hawk gave up and flew off.  The Red-tailed Hawk soon relaxed and walked around the lawn for a few minutes before flying off, after two young boys yelled, “Pale Male, Pale Male, I found him first, no, I did, I did.”
