This weekend there has been an antique tractor show in Yolo County. Yesterday, a friend and I went out there and took some pictures of the event.

It’s being held at the Dan Best Ranch. You can read more about it at bestshowontracks.org

Some young Reds at play, with momma watching.

Here are some photos of the Swainsons that were nesting in that tree when they were invaded by the Great Horned Owl.

Can you see him in this picture? He’s very well camouflaged among the pinecones.

Earlier in the day he was being attacked by the pair of Swainson’s Hawks that have been nesting in that tree. They finally gave up after a valiant effort, consisting of many violent and powerful high speed air attacks.  I am afraid that the Swainson’s young may have met their demise.
