Red-shouldered Hawks, pair, afterglowing

Arastradero Preserve

These birds had just copulated when I took this photo, and stayed together like this for about ten more minutes. I was on Arastradero Creek Trail just south of Arastradero Lake; the birds were in a valley oak on the east ridgeline above Arastradero Creek.
