Red-tailed Hawks at State Line Lookout (New Jersey)

While at the hawk watch at State Line Lookout, some Red-tailed hawks were playing/training at diving at each other. These two got very close. 13th October, 2017. The hawk in the foreground had actually just been playing at picking up leaves from the ground and flying round dropping them - one is still in its claw
