Media notes
Photo taken from Yuma Wetlands Park minutes before we saw the hawk from the freeway entrance.
Observation details
Dark raptor with dihedral-angled wings, teteering in flight. Flight feathers finely barred. Wide white band on tail. Yellow nares and feet. Seen first at the Yuma Wetlands Park where we saw it fly across the river into California, then back over to the park. Photos were taken at the park. As we got on the freeway, we could see the hawk circling over the trailer park on the California side of the river.
