Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis)Observer
matthew_willsDescription
Picked up Pinus wallichiana pinecone after several leaps and starts. Flew with it. Dropped out of sight. Soon after, pirouetting with another Red-tail, this one snapped off a pinecone from high up on the same Blue Pine and seemed to try to pass it to the other bird, turning in flight to launch it horizontally as opposed to simply dropping it. The other hawk did not catch the falling pinecone.

AI suggested, the oak tree has its own oservation as well. AI says it's a laurel oak but I'm not familiar with the species so I'm not sure.
I'll link the two observations together when they're posted.
