linda jones > Rare for Orange County, mostly in the wild towards Texas, Arizona and south. The Harris Hawk, named after J. Audubons friend, had been captured for years and used and bred for captivity and falconry. The Harris Hawk is friendly and not as skitterish as a Red Tail. Fairly good sized, forrages in quarries in woodland areas. He's not a strong flyer like the Red Tail. Perhaps that is why he was so easily captured. This Harris Hawk has no signs of ever being a captive. He has disappeared in the last few days.

linda jones > Harris Hawk, Irvine, Ca 2011

linda jones > Harris Hawk, named by James Audubon for a friend named Harris. Mostly found south of Texas and Arizona border. Very rare here. Some say climate change has brought them further north. This hawk seems a little lost, but not as shy as our Red Tails. The Harria Hawks are friendly, and have been used for centuries as falconry birds. They hunt from trees in quarry woodlands. They are even bred in Europe and sold.

linda jones > December Migratory Birds, Harris Hawk, Cedar Waxwings, Cactus Wren, and winter wildlife photo

linda jones > This guy circled many times before dropping down to snatch this fish. He flew close to the water right before this, and drug his feet in the water to clean them off. Wild animals are a joy to observe! They usually are creatures of habit and common sense is helpful in wondering why they do these things.

linda jones > This curious fellow creeped up on me from behind while I was photographing a Cactus Wren. I heard some chewing noises behind me and looked. There he was! He sure looked healthy, unfortunately they get pretty ragged when food isn't available, but this was by a lake with alot of prey nearby.
