Red Tailed Hawk During Raptor Migration

Last weekend we were enticed to drive up to the Squaw Peak Overlook to view the migration of birds of prey from north to south. We went up expecting to see hordes of eagles, hawks, and vultures. We met a bunch of bird watchers with telescope and telephoto lenses but the only bird we saw was this hawk which had been injured and is now kept in captivity by a "hawk rescuer." Awesome to see him this close with the blue sky and mountains in the background. Jackson and Kellie both asked if they could hold him but they were denied by his handler.
