Of Red-taileds and ridges: Spotted in Double Diamond South

Body
While visiting a friend in Double Diamond South and walking from my car to the house, I spotted three Red-tailed Hawks gliding south across a ridge where a lone pinion stood. I lifted my binoculars and took a look. There were two nicely marked eastern-plumaged Redtailed adults, and – a different bird. Now, a birder’s mind processes visual information rapidly. By size and shape, buteo registers immediately. Then two bright, rusty-red tails, dark brown backs and upper wing surfaces – adult Red-tailed Hawks.

Brewster County Judge As for the qualifications for the job, my expertise on confronting the issues impacting the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of Brewster County for years is a proven record. The issue and proposal of drone-testing and research by Texas A&M with an indemnification clause the Alpine-Casparis Municipal Airport was facing would impact medical emergency flights, tourism, and Customs and Border Protection flights.
