Over the past few years, Vlahakis shot countless frames of our resident Red Tailed Hawks who nest on the 2 Freeway at Rosebud Ave. He's documented our incredibly urban hawks, nesting on a freeway, feeding young, enduring construction, interacting & even hanging out on the railing of his house. After you've edited hundreds of frames, you do recognize individuals quite easily. This was a new face.
When a neighbor alerted us to the hawk below his house, Vlahakis immediately shot a few frames, sent this photo with the note, "definitely young."
We are grateful to Gary Vlahakis for sharing his fantastic photographs of the Red Tailed Hawks. He's given us an opportunity to see what only a few of us have witnessed when these magnificent hunters pay visits to our backyards.
