This juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk was diving at ducks on the river, swooping back and forth on gusty fall breezes. He hasn’t yet grown in his iconic red tail feathers and sports a pattern of brown bars instead.

One of the rarest raptors in the world- the Galapagos hawk (Buteo galapagoensis)! This species has an extremely cool breeding behavior called cooperative polyandry, which is not typically seen in birds of prey. In this system male hawks are usually monogamous while females may take up to seven mates during the nesting season. The female and her various mates then work cooperatively to incubate one nest of eggs and raise the chicks to adulthood. Though only one male is the biological father, all males contribute to parenting equally on the chance the chicks in the nest might be their genetic successors. The bird incubating eggs in this video may be the female or any one of multiple mates. 

Also as a bonus you can see another very rare bird, the Waved Albatross, fly past in the background of this video!

An eastern buzzard, Buteo japonicus, in a snow day. The lines on the tail feathers made me excited for a moment as if it may be a Rough-legged buzzard, but other characteristics of the bird made me think that it was an eastern buzzard. Although it is a winter bird in Tokyo, I had the impression that I saw them in the warm season last year here. I am looking forward to seeing them nesting near here again.

雪の日のノスリ 尾羽にラインが入っているので一瞬色めき立ったが、他の特徴を見るとやはりノスリだな。 東京では冬の鳥だが、昨年の当地ではむしろ暖かい季節に見る印象が強く、最近ややご無沙汰。2羽で飛んでいたので、また近くで営巣してくれるとよいな。
