Earlier this week I saw Dylan, our state park marina tiercel, copulate with the female peregrine that has taken to hanging around. He continues to be very...
Cabrillo Peak would probably be the nearest natural locale. There is a rock outcropping on the east side. Hollister Peak is a possibility depending on whether...
For the past couple of weeks, I have been trying to get stills of peregrines mating at Morro Rock. The ever-proper Judy accuses me of prurience, but I assure...
Hi Cleve, I really appreciate your pictures, they truly speak louder than words. As I have been watching the San Jose pair, Jose and Clara, they are also ...
Cleve and all, Actually we are looking for a photographer with some experience in wildlife photography that might be interested in lurking around what we are...
Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me ID this raptor. It has been hunting the smaller birds (finches and the like) at my backyard birdfeeder. At first I...
Hi BJ...nice-looking bird! I can't tell if it's a ccop or a sharp- shinned but my favorite raptor i.d. book is Brian Wheeler's "Raptors of Western North...
This morning, I was trying to photograph the Morro Rock peregrines despite wind gusts that rattled my telescope-mounted camera. The rig was focused, as best I...
All of the knowledgeable folks agree the Morro Rock south side peregrine pair are sitting on eggs. It was much too windy this morning for any telescope...
Well, this post is sure to cement my reputation in this group, at least with Judy for sure. But, as with the peregrines, I've photographed the kites doing...
See six photos at http://tinyurl.com/34m5wm of the Peregrine Falcon pair on the south side of Morro Rock, Morro Bay, CA, taken March 15, 2007 This pair was...
Don't worry, no photos. I have spent the last two evenings videoing the pair of kites I am monitoring. Both evenings have revealed the same interesting...
Obviously she doesn't "get it" either, Cleve, so you're not alone! I assume it is some sort of pair-bonding behavior...I just don't know if she isn't...

Another late afternoon with the pair I am hoping will nest. They are still arguing/negotiating about something, and I believe it is nest location. As I've seen...
Due to cloudy conditions, I gave up on photograpy early this morning. But on the way back from Morro Bay, I spotted this bird. It is quite large, larger than a...
... I'll offer my sub-expert opinion here and go with subadult red-tailed hawk. The distinct tail barring and scapular "V" leads me away from Ferruginus. Boy...
Cleve, I agree with Paul. I think it's a young Redtail Hawk and agree with his reasoning. Sometimes the only way I can ID a Redtail is by the scapular V on...
Thanks, Paul and Maggie. It looked large and very light colored from the road. But when I looked at the images, I had my doubts. ... [Non-text portions of this...
I'll chime in and agree with the consensus so far....an immature red-tail. As a case-in-point about variations in color, I offer a red-tail we banded several...
I found a great web site last night for helping ID raptors. http://www.iwrc-online.org/RaptorID/RaptorID_contents.html It has plenty of photos of all the...
