. The birds of California : a complete, scientific and popular account of the 580 species and subspecies of birds found in the state. Birds; Birds. The Western Red-tailed Hawk. â m Taken on the Mohave Desert A FRIENDLY DISCUSSION' THE NEST IS EVIDENTLY IN THE TOP OF A JOSHUA TREE Photo by Pierce tunes of the Redtail. Once a male Prairie Falcon, whose eyrie we found later, took it into his head to persecute a Redtail. He circled about rapidly and hurled himself again and again at the Hawk, but each time, at the expected moment of contact, the Buzzard turned deftly face up, presenting his talons to the persecutor; and each time, of course, the Falcon swerved short to avoid the parry. Both the birds were very much in earnest, to judge from the harsh cries which escaped them at the moment of "present talons"; but it was evidently an old game and an idle one, too, for no matter at what range or from what angle the Falcon struck, the Redtail was always ready, with a quick half- somersault, to receive him. Conducted thus in the open in a fierce glare of sunlight, it was surely a battle for the gods to witnessâeven though the issue was only a draw. The Redtail is not afraid of the "King of Birds" either. It was in the Warner Mountains, July 6, 1912. Possibly the Eagle began the scrap, but if he did the Redtail took up the gauntlet with spirit and alacrity. When first sighted, the Eagle, a Golden, of course, was chasing the Redtail down a long air-slope. The Buteo avoided, dextrously enough, and thereafter maintained a superior position from which he swooped again and again at his royal nibs. The Eagle was manifestly bored, even though he was always prepared, so that the near-collisions were harmless; but it was a pretty sight to see the Redtail mount aloft, 1680.
