Red-Tailed Hawk - Juvenile Yahhhhhhhhhhh July 19 2011

When you stop looking there they are. On my way back from lunch saw a hawk sitting on top of a tree. I was sure it was a adult until I heard it call. Man what a beautiful female juvenile.

One beautiful juvenile red-tailed hawk seen today July 19 2011

On my way back from lunch I saw a large red-tailed hawk sitting in a tree by the TTC. Stopped to have a good look and sure enough it is a very large female juvenile from this year. Still had some gold colours on the chest. Doing the baby cry. I estimate that it fledged a good 3 to 4 weeks ago by colour, and behaviour. Beautiful brown tail.

Did get a couple of shots and will file later.

Red Tailed Hawk sitting in old nest tree

Carol emailed me to say that there was a red-tailed hawk sitting in the old nest tree.
So they are around just not seen easily.

No sign of hawks

Went for a short walk today but no sign of young fledglings or adults. Will check again in a few days. They could be there but you can't see anything in the woods.

See Adults flying all over the place

I have no idea of how big the eyas are - the nest is now completely covered and protected by leaves. I did see the female fly into the nest and the male soaring over the Civic Centre.

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.
