Zone-tailed Hawk at Anzalduas County Park, 1/07/08

I went over to Anzalduas County Park to get a few things for my 2008 Hidalgo County yearlist. This Zone-tailed Hawk was a nice surprise. It had been seen several weeks earlier.

Gray Hawks nest every summer at Anzalduas. Here's a juvenal plumaged bird.

I liked your site. I visited it trying to figure out if it was a Zone-tailed hawk I saw during my recent visit to Brazoria NWR. Best, Carol
