The last one of the day that we saw was about 12 miles East of Grand Coulee,
WA. The bird was hovering. We have seen Red-tailed Hawks work slope lift,
but not hover like a Common Kestral, or Rough-legged Hawk. Do Red-tailed
Hawks hover?

Juvenile, intermediate, male, female, dark-morph, pale,etc.--grrrr. :-)
