Birds (Various), May, 2022 - Calgary, AB

2022 - May 11 - May 12

On May 11th and 12th I went out exploring locations for potential photo ideas involving, lining up interesting subjects with, the rising/setting of the Full Moon scheduled for the up and coming weekend. While out doing that I unexpectedly encountered Hawks flying around at multiple locations. Here's some of the photos I captured of the Hawks, plus some other photos taken while visiting Fish Creek Provincial Park on the morning of the 12th. I don't know what type of Hawks these are, sorry.

It's pretty difficult to see what's going on here as it was happening very far away, but I'm sure this was a Hawk pair mating.
