Firestone-Redtailed Hawk Spotted above Norwalk.


On Thursday, November 3, 2011 at about 11:35 am.m, while on my way to my afternoon tea at Starbucks, I spoted the young "Firestone" Redtailed Hawk above the 605. Yup, thats him. As I recall, certainly smaller than the adult ive seen before. It could have been the male adult but his wing span was not as wide as I remembered. He circled above and around the 605 near Firestone Blvd, ascended 20-30 feet in less than 7 seconds, widended his circle, and as I was reaching for my binoculars (dropping my camera) he shot at about 35 mph west along and above Firestone Blvd toward the San Gabriel River..lost. Wow, what speed.
