Red-Tailed Hawks nest gone March2, 2011

Unfortunately it appears that the red-tailed hawk nest that has been in the tree for two years is gone. I did a check on the ground - not a single branch or twig, nor in the tree where the nest was in 2009 and 2010 is completely gone. No twigs or branches or anything up there. Checked under the tree - nothing.

The hawks have been flying around but with the nest gone it is possible they will move it to another location. There has been no signs of rebuilding the nest. Sad to see this happen.

Wish I knew how the nest disappeared?????????????????????????????????????????

3 Red-Tailed Hawks soaring around building Feb28, 2011

The day started off pooring rain and after lunch the sun came out. Jack came down and told me to come with him. That meant one of two thing the hawks are near or Carol has cookies. Well lucky for me there were 3 red-tailed hawks circling around the building. Did not see them on the nest but one was sitting on the public art piece by the nest. Hears hoping. Time to bring the binos to work. Yahoo.

Another hawk family - Female building nest. Feb 2011

This incredible female red-tailed hawk is beautiful, strong and very very fast. Gary and Dianne's Red-Tailed Hawks are very busy getting the nest ready for the 2011 season. I am hoping mine will return soon.

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.
