Corralitas Drive: Hawks Soaring, Mating

Photo: Diane Edwardson, February 28, 2012, 9:06 AM.  The Red Tails had been mating noisily in one of the Eucalyptus trees in the middle of the 2 Freeway (closer to the 5 Freeway) earlier this morning.  They were soaring past the log cabins most of the morning.  (Click on photos to enlarge.)
