Stanford is a good place to see raptors.
Several species, including both shown here, are resident year-round.
Others visit seasonally, and some pass by on migration.
Stanford Note: While the Cooper’s Hawk (l) is fairly
common throughout campus, foraging on birds (often Western Scrub-Jays,
Mourning Doves, and House Finches) in virtually any habitat
type, the White-tailed Kite (r) is more common in the adjacent
foothills. Both were photographed in the faculty residence area
on the back of the campus.
