The Red-tailed Hawk family has succeed in having two eyas. Very hard to see them but I can hear them and see them flapping around high in the nest.

A time to Duck

Chasing a pigeon

During lunch I finally found where the red-tails go hunting for pigeons - and boy do they had the perfect location with lots of them. I sat there watching for a while and there were 50+ pigeons trying to get away from the hawks. Here are a few shots. By the way as I was watching the one red tail flew over the parking lot so low he came right over my head and I had to duck - you will see the shot I am talking about. He landed right behind me on a fence.
I went to talk to the building where the red-tail hawk was hitting the window. The manager of the building told me that they leave the lights on 24-7 for security reasons. He doesn't like the hawks around and would like the wildlife people to take them away.
