Not much of a hike, this is only a mile from my house. The bigger one, likely the female looks like she was posing for pictures. Knee pain has curtailed my hiking but I just got cortisone shots and they are really helping. I love bears and know some great spots but they are a minimum 3 to 5 steep rocky miles, so fingers crossed.

Female raptors usually are bigger....they can defend the nest. She's gorgeous, isn't she?
Sorry about the knee pain--but--I'm something of an expert on that subject and can tell you that, if it comes to it....you'll ask yourself why you waited so long to get new ones. I promise!

I'm lucky 50 years of hiking with heavy packs takes a toll. Doctor says I'll probably never need knee replacement so I'm happy and maybe all the exercise did more good than harm.
@Buttercup yes, it seems to be a fine line sometimes. If you don’t need a new knee you’re probably doing quite well. My mum and friend both had one and were in tremendous pain prior to it, but are much improved after.
