Red Tail Hawk in the treetop at 2600 Corralitas Drive.A smallish Red Tail Hawk has been hanging around the treetops and telephone poles at 2600 Corralitas Drive. A Lake View Ave. neighbor, just on the opposite side of Red Car Canyon, reports a hawk has been hanging around the treetops in his pine trees too.
October 25, 2009, around midday, a neighbor and I witnessed a very large Golden Eagle flying low and slow over the Corralitas end of the Red Car Property. It came from a tree on the slope close to the 2 Freeway; dropped down to about 20' from the ground where the Red Car Property meets Corralitas Drive; then continued soaring slowly toward the trees on the Lake View side of Red Car Canyon. Golden Eagles are more commonly found in Griffith & Elysian Parks. It was an awesome site as it was much larger than the Red Tail Hawks. The head and beak are much larger too. Sadly, neither of us were able to get a photo with our cellphones.
