Corralitas Drive: How This Scenic Vista Led Me To Find The Red Tail Hawk's Nest On Allesandro & Rosebud
Photo: Diane Edwardson, April 8, 2011, 7:13 PM. Last night while shooting the spectacular clouds, I heard two hawks screaming at each other, just below the log cabins on Corralitas Drive.

Corra's partner flew across the 2 Freeway, to a tree on Allesandro & Rosebud. It was too dark to get a decent shot, but with binoculars, we could see a large bird moving around in the nest.

The tree is across Allesandro from the Semi Tropic Spiritualists' Tract lots, destined for development. (Click on photo to enlarge.)
