Harris Hawks

[Daddee]

Forgot to mention that we saw a cast of 4 Harris Hawks on the prowl as we were driving out from Rogers Trough. Pretty amazing watching them circle about working as a team.

Anyone know how many casts of Harris Hawks are in the Superstition wilderness area? I've seen one cast of 5 that hangs out near the Peralta/First Water area, and that cast of 4 up near Rogers Trough is the only other one I've seen.

There's one here in Sun City West; pretty sure their nest is just off the 13th green Grandview Golf course. Often see a pair of them sitting on the edge of Del Webb memorial Hostpital's roof. Gorgeous birds!
