Again the red tails were flying everywhere and screaming non stop.

Flight shots of fledged red-tailed hawks July 23, 2010

Today I saw the 2 young red tailed hawks as well as the 2 adults flying in the distance.

I had no trouble finding the hawks today. They were screaming for food all day. The interesting part was they were all over the place - on top of the condos, on top of the building, in the trees, on the light stand.

I saw both fledgled red-tailed hawks very low today. One walked on the parking lot and was drinking water from a puddle.

Time is moving very fast. The hawks are seldom seen low on the branches. They never stop crying but they are spending more and more time higher up on the building.
I will enjoy taking the last of the photos. They are still dependant on the parents but only for a few more weeks.

The fledglings are spending more and more time soaring in the sky and sitting on the condo and construction site.

Some shots of the Fledged Red-Tailed Hawk July 17, 2010

I took these shots before I knew that the youngest red tailed hawk had died. It makes every photo more special. Janice and I enjoyed watching them fly and play with the bugs. Janice was there before I arrived and could here them but not see them. I pulled in the parking lot and they flew right by my car. These are very special birds.
