Red-Tailed Hawk flying by building June 2, 2011

Today I saw the adult red-tailed hawk flying low over the building being chased by red-winged black birds. He went directly to the consillium building and sat at the top for some time. First I have seen of the adult as the nest area is so full of leaves I can barely find the nest.

Red Tailed Hawk Nest

I have a very tiny window to see into the nest. Above female resting. Below 2 eyas through the branches.

2 Baby Red-Tailed Hawks May 20, 2011

I stopped in today at the nest and saw two eyas between the branches. It is so full of leaves and banches it is hard to see anything. Both parents were there but again with all the leaves hard to see. Wonderful to see them so well protected. May be a third eyas somewhere in there. Ann

Eyas have arrived - May 10, 2011

Popped over to the nest this afternoon and there are eyas in the nest. The female was dipping over and over so she is obviously feeding someone.

Due to the amount of leaves already it will be very difficult to see how many until they are able to stand on the edge.

Today Carol and I stopped by but all we saw was the tail of the red-tailed hawk. No signs of feeding yet. Due date is this week.

At physio today I was so pleased to see the male red-tailed hawk soaring around. I sat in the chair and enjoyed the spins and wing flapping as he went by the window over and over again. Eyas are due next week.

Female on Nest - can barely see her april 24, 2011

The female was sitting on the nest which is in a red oak tree. I can barely see her anymore. Look closely in the branches for a peak of her face.
