Red-tailed Hawk, East Millcreek, Salt Lake City, Utah, 09 September 2019.
Red-tailed Hawk.

Cool this morning—coolest Utah temperature I’ve felt. Sun, a little haze. This afternoon, while returning from an errand, I heard the unmistakable cry of a Red-tailed Hawk. Above us, dog and me, I saw an unkempt looking, post-molt redtail, circling above an apt-looking mountain landscape. Sure sign of migration.

Bird Report is a (sometimes intermittent) record of the birds I encounter while hiking, see while driving, or spy outside my window. —Brian Willson
