THIS REDTAIL HAWK AND I HAVE COME IN CONTACT
SEVERAL TIMES AND HE ACTS LIKE HE REMEMBERS ME.
HE IS NOT AFRAID LIKE OTHER REDTAILS, BUT LETS
ME GET REASONABLY CLOSE BEFORE HE GETS NERVOUS.

WHEN HE DOES FLY, HE FLIES TOWARD ME; NOT AWAY
LIKE MOST OTHERS.. HE ZOOMS DOWN TOWARD ME, THEN
VEERS OFF WHEN HE'S APPROX 10 FEET AWAY..

I THINK HE'S A YOUNG HAWK AND MAY HAVE BECOME FAMILIAR
WITH PEOPLE VISITING THE REFUGE.. I CAN USUALLY FIND
HIM IN ONE OF 3 DIFFERENT TREES SOMETIME DURING THE DAY.
HE'S BEEN IN THE SAME AREA FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS..

THESE IMAGES (4) SHOW HIS LATEST HAWK "ATTACK" ON ME..
