Bob read on the birding site he watches that the migration of Black Hawks, Zone-tailed Hawks, Grey Hawks, and Turkey Vultures was in full swing at Tubac. Sunday morning we decided to check it out. As you can see from the picture below, we weren't the only ones checking it out.
It was a very good day. We saw approximately 16 Common Black-Hawks; a couple of Gray Hawks, dozens of Turkey Vultures, but alas no Zone-tailed Hawks. We did however see a number of Red-tailed Hawks, an American Kestrel, and got a great look at a Peregrine Falcon. In the Accipiter category we saw a Sharp-shinned Hawk, and a couple of Cooper's Hawks. We saw a number of little birds such as a Black Phoebe, Vermilion Flycatcher, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Wilson's Warbler, Black-throated Gray Warbler, and this female Northern Cardinal which was the only one that would sit still long enough for me to get it's picture.
Bob waited patiently while I took other pictures around Tubac.
