Another Flight of Harris Hawks
Online Full Text
Mr. Frank Richmond of El Centro, California, reports to me that on August 28, 1923, he saw near Calexico, a flight of about 250 Harris Hawks (Parabuteo unicinctus harrisi). He got within 60 feet of the nearest of them; apparently they did not have any fear of him or his auto. Some were perched in small trees and some in the cottonwood trees directly over his head, and others were hopping around on the bare ground. They were probably feeding, for the ground had just been irrigated and was quite wet. This is within two miles of the place where Mr. Richmond reported the flight on October 22, 1920 (see CONDOR, XXIII, 1921, p. 65).
