I found the juvenile Zone-tailed Hawk perched this morning at Frontera but it was gone when I drove by after birding a little at Estero Llano Grande SP. With the cold and rainy weather lots of the Turkey Vultures with which this species associates were also coming in to perch at least for a period of time. This time it was in a deciduous tree that still has leaves on it (and low light and rain added to photo problems) so my photos are not as good as on some prior occasions though diagnostic for species and age. I have uploaded those photos onto my Birds and Nature blog.<http://birdsandnature.blogspot.com/> I forgot to on my post last night that I was not surprised to find the adult Zone-tailed because, as I noted in some post a while back, I had seen an adult Zone-tailed Hawk flying less than a hundred feet off the ground at Frontera on Dec 22 which is 5 days before I found the juvenile. It just seemed like a good possibility that if an adult had been flying low at Frontera, and a juvenile was roosting there, that the adult might be roosting there too. However, it still seems unusual that a juvenile hawk is still being in such relatively close association with an adult so late in it's first winter. Birds of North America online just says there is little information about immature stage.
