SCC Red-Tailed Hawk spotted today.

After months of not seeing the Red-tailed Hawks at work I was amazing by seeing the female soaring at lunch around the condos and then on the corner of the Federal Building. My phyisotherapist Karen said she had seen her there last week. As I left the building I saw her there.

And then see saw me

And turned around and gave me a full view of her. After 10 minutes

She flew into the air and soared towards the town centre.

Look at that beautiful red tail

She looks extremely healthy.

Juvenile Red-tailed Hawks soaring around Civic Centre

I was thrilled on my way home from work to see a juvenile red-tailed hawk sitting atop the tree.  He was not very content.  Later I saw him flying over the Scarborough Town Centre. 

The adults are seen daily soaring high in the sky above the Town Centre and where I work.

Thrill to see them still in the area.

No photos this year but some really great ones going back to when the nest was outside the window at my office.

Take time and go back to see the thrill of juvenile hawks playing in the trees.

Eyas have arrived at SCC nest

I went by the Red-tailed nest (which is almost totally covered by leaves and branches) and saw the female on the side of the nest dipping.  So we have eyas being fed. 

By the middle of next week we will have no visual until the babies start to cry for food.
The male is often seen soaring above the sky. 

Soaring about the parking lot

Over the past week the Red-tailed Hawks have been seen soaring together above the parking lot, town centre and YMCA.

Not sure the nest is but there are two hawks so with some luck they will nest nearby.

Red Tailed Hawk seen at nest Jan 25, 2012

Over the past two days I have seen the red-tailed hawk family at work. The first time the female hawk was sitting on the branch where they nested last year and then today I saw her chasing the pigeons around the Scarborough Civic Centre. When I left at 5pm she was still sitting on the back side of the building.
