Birds of Prey

All the bird activity in my garden brings in the hawks, both juvenile Swainson's Hawks (Buteo swainsoni) and adults.  They are forest hunting  hawks and I have seen them chasing birds through the trees or in the hedges.

The adult Swainson's Hawk has red eyes, the juvenile has yellow.

At night the owls hunt, I hear them frequently, and see them more rarely, sometimes flying, sometimes perched in a tree, mostly the Great Horned Owl (Asio otus).

The Barn Owls (Tyto alba) are out too, although not so vocal and not so visible as the Great Horned Owl.
