Field Notes

Description:

Large, brown hawk with light brown under wings. Last image shows two hawks sparring (from a large distance).

Habitat:

One was flying overhead and suddenly another one showed up and they started sparring. Unfortunately they were really high up and my zoom couldn't handle it.
