The last two winters we have had a Red Tail Hawk come visit Turtle Vines.  It sits on our vine row endpoints, jumps to the ground and hunts gophers and observes me from the trees weeding and pruning!  Unfortunately the last two years I have only seen one…no mate.

This year, I saw my Hawk again in the vineyard about a week ago…again alone.  But not for long…if you can see from the picture above we now have two Hawks!!!  I’m hoping they are mating and we will have little ones flying around in the spring.  Stay tuned for more Red Tail love stories!!!
