Continued feeding of eyas May 3 & 4, 2010

At this time the female is constantly feeding the eyas. I know there are at least 2 maybe 3. The male brings in the food and leaves again.

Female Red Tailed hawk in nest May 1, 2010

On arrival at nest the red tail hawk was feeding the eyas. She then was trying to catch the bugs as they seemed to be bothering her. At one point she started to scream as a gull flew right above the nest and tried to go at the nest. Just before I left the female was feeding the young again.

I don't understand the gull attacking but another worker from the City was watching it also. He said he is there very early and the red tailed hawks like to sit on top of the government building and soar around.

2 Eyas maybe more april 28, 2010

Today Florence and Bernie joined me at the nest. WE did not see the male but we did see the female feeding the little ones. Only the tips of the heads were seen. Food was in the nest - female would feed herself then the eyas. The female looks fantastic.

Female Red Tail feeding young April 27, 2010

Saw both adult hawks and watched the female bending over to feed the young. If you look really closely with a microscope you can see one eyas. Honestly I used the raw file with 200% increase in size - and you can see the little white face.

Red-Tailed Hawk taking a good look at me today April 26, 2010

At lunch today I met Andrew and Murray for my hourly visit with the hawks. What a thrill it was after 10 min to see the male come in for a fly by. He soared around the nest and around Andrew and myself. He then flew below Ellemsere and continued to soar around. A cooper hawk went over the nest and into the woods. After the hawk gave us one more fly by he disappeared and Murray arrived -sorry Murray.
the whole time the female was on the nest.

Today I stopped in to check out the nest. I had no idea how cold it was outside till I arrived. The male hawk was seen hunting around teh building while the female was tight on the nest.

Red-Tailed hawk - Landscapes of the area

The Red-tailed Hawks live in the middle of a building jungle. Condos, business building like Bell Canada and the government building and of course where I work for the City. There is construction going on all around us.
