I’ve been perusing the photos I took yesterday as I wandered about the lake.

While I still remain disappointed at the quality of some of them, especially those of the hawks and vultures, a close look today revealed something I hadn’t realized yesterday.

I saw—and photographed!—three different hawk species.  All in one day!

I just wish the images had turned out better.

Still, one Cooper’s hawk (Accipiter cooperii), two red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis), and a red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus).  During a single three-hour walk here at White Rock Lake, here in the middle of urban mayhem.

Very cool…
