Sara and I were out today enjoying the fog down by the water out in Delta. On the way home from Brunswick Point, we spotted a Red-tailed Hawk with Long-billed Hawk Syndrome. This hawk has apparently been breeding successfully for several years, delivering lots of prey to her nestlings. Here hoping the hawk keeps thriving despite her disability.
