This thread is intended to be an easily accessible list of links to redtail, raptor and other avian-related Internet resources. Other miscellaneous sources such as books could also be included. The goal is to have one central resource spot for quick reference to live cams, photo galleries, blogs, and other websites of interest. It's still a work in progress, but I'll kick it off with a list subject to additions, revisions, corrections, etc. The idea is to function much as does bobdmac's video thread--that is, an initial post or two, to be edited from time to time with new entries, so as to keep the list in the same location. If you want to suggest additions or have other comments, you can post them as usual; and I'll edit the original post(s) as indicated, back at the beginning. Or you can email the links to me. So here is a first wing-flap, to take the plunge.
I'll also be adding, with permission, any Flickr links for Forumers wishing to post their information.
FLICKR LINKS Catgirlwww.flickr.com/photos/cheryls_camera"Look for the continually evolving collections on the right.
'Tulsa Urban Hawks' contains photos of the five pairs of RTs that occupy adjacent territory to the KJRH hawks.
The collection
'KJRH Hawks'
contains a set of photos following the KJRH RTs from June 2008 to
February 2009; a set of photos of Thunder; and a set of photos of Kay
and Jay's second season, starting October 2008 to present.
The collection
'Tulsa Urban Wildlife'
contains photos of a variety of wildlife viewed in the Tulsa area- from
prey (squirrels, pigeons, birds) to the predators (eagles, hawks, red
fox).
Please contact me (either through
flickr or the KJRH Hawk's Nest website) if you would like a copy of a particular picture."
Observerhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/modelt/"Be sure to check out the collections (on the right-hand side) of
day-to-day screenshots and videos of Kay and Jay's daily nest
activities, which go along with the forum posts for each day. You can
follow events from the time they started working on the nest, through
the egg-laying and sitting periods up to the present. There are also
shots of Thunder during his pre-fledge era, with lots of closeups."

Bvillehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/27794391@N04/collections/"Two collections 1) the KJRH Hawks, and 2) Redtails in the Greater Tulsa
area, intended to be a chronological retrospective of Forum
observations since April 2008. Most photos are screen captures by
various Forum members, but there are also original photos by Catgirl,
Observer, Kcactionphoto, and Russell Mills. (Thank you all for your
permission to include them.) I've tried to give credit as due on the
rest, but if you find something amiss amongst the multitude of dates,
times and names, please let me know and I'll gladly revise. I may also
do some streamlining as time goes by."
