While doing the Weslaco CBC at Frontera Audubon I found a juvenile
Zone-tailed Hawk perched in a tree north of Frontera this morning. It flew
out after many photos and good views by several of us. I was surprised to
see it again at 5 pm perched not far from where I saw it in the morning. I
drove out to look for which tree it was located in but it apparently had
left as I could not refind it.
Local area birder Pat Heirs found an adult Zone-tailed Hawk on the south
grounds of Frontera Audubon this afternoon. It was not only unusual to see
2 perched Zone-tails and perched away from a riparian area but the adult
was perched about a 1/4 mile from the juvenile. I could not find anything
about juveniles remaining into winter the adults but only did a quick
internet search. I would appreciate if anyone has info on this or knows a
source of info on this.
I have uploaded photos of the juvenile Zone-tailed on my Birds and Nature
blog <http://birdsandnature.blogspot.com/> and will get photos of the adult
up there tomorrow.
