Observation details
Circling together. The larger (likely the female) hawk carried a stick in her talons, and both flew with legs down. After a bit the female dropped the stick and the male dove, caught it and carried it. Not long after that they both disappeared behind the trees, but soon reappeared without the stick. Once again they circled together, interacting several times before they eventually disappeared behind the trees for good. Wonderful to watch this, and so interesting. Photos.
