Female Red-Tailed Hawk vs one crazy squirrel Feb 4, 2011

One squirrel kept going up and down the tree looking at the hawk. Carol and I watched him boldly head out on the limb. Look at the squirrels tail and he is very ticked off at the hawk.

Big Mama looks at the squirrel - we thought she might want him for lunch. But no he just wanted to bug her.


The female red-tailed hawk sat in the tree all morning just watching the activity at work.

Adult Red-Tailed Hawks sitting at nest Jan 13, 2011

I couldn't believe my eyes today when I went to work. Yes that is a red-tailed hawk sitting in the tree. I took a good look at her and realized it was Big Mama. Went to see Jack, Marlene and Carol on the 5th floor - everyone quickly went to the window and saw the one in the tree and a second hawk landing. YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Took a couple of shots. You can see how big the female is in the photos. Check her out - someone has not had any trouble finding food.
And so we begin again. Lets hope they decide to stay. Both sat in the tree for a couple of hours.

Sightings of Red Tail Hawks - Thank you

Red Tails: Four times now I've seen a single hawk or a pair together flying around the condos or circling above Scarborough Civic Centre in the last two weeks. Yesterday a single Red Tail was flying around the new condo they are still building. It's a very good sized hawk.

More shots of the Red Tailed Hawk at work

It is such a joy to watch Red-Tailed Hawks. I just love to see them fly and call.

Red-Tailed Hawk juvenile visits the nest today Dec 17, 2010

Today at lunch I went down to my car. As I passed the red-tail nest tree I was surprised to see a hawk land. I ran upstairs to grab my camera and the juvenile Red-Tail Hawk was sitting in the nest (SCC Red Tail Nest - 3 young last year). He then flew into Frank Faubert woods. He flew around the trees dipping and diving and finally landed on the tree branch in front of me. WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
Yes this beautiful young female red-tailed hawk was definitely familiar with the woods. I also saw a pair of red-tails flying high above me. I will have to take more walks in the woods to see if the baby comes back. More posts to follow
