Photo Study Of Red-tailed and Red-shouldered Hawks At Nockamixon State Park, March 4th, 2010

Rte 563 runs through Nockamixon State Park in Bucks County. Many of us have started to call this road, "Hawk Alley"! Today on my way to Oberly Road WMA in Alpha, NJ, I drove along Hawk Alley and saw five hawks, one adult and one juvenile Red-tail (Buteo jamaicensis) and one adult and two juvenile Red-shouldered (Buteo lineatus) sunning themselves in the trees.
