Hi Tweets,
All this talk of Ferruginous Hawks reminded me of a video my son, Houston,
took while we were birding east of Yakima on Memorial Day weekend five years
ago. The quality isn't the best but considering it was filmed with a Nikon
Coolpix 995 through a Pentax 80mm scope with a 20x60 zoom lens on a windy
day, they still are kind of cool and I thought maybe some of you might like
to see it. The video is broken down into two links. The first is titled
"The Hunt"

The second link is titled "The Feast"

We were lucky to witness this, I hope we can all continue to have the
chance to see such things in the future. And I'd also like to thank Scott
Downes for his work in protecting the shrub steppe habitat.
Thanks and Good Birding,
