Description

enjoyed watching this exchange, pictures aren't great but am always amazed at the ferocity of smaller birds around hawks. This post is usually the Scissor-tail's spot. Probably a nest here and the hawk is definitely not welcome. The Scissor-tail won out in the end.

was pretty sure this was a correct ID because of its beautiful yellow belly but couldn't find other pictures to show this neat pattern on the wings from the rear
