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

October 28, 2010 saw both adult Red-Tails

I was so happy when I left work today to see both adult red-tailed hawks circling the building and condo. They were soaring around and around high in the air finally coming to rest on the top of the condo. One can only hope that they will nest again at work. Ann

Red-Tailed Hawk watch is now over for 2010

This shot is special as all three were on the same branch. First time I have seen this in two years.

I hope you have enjoyed reading about the SCC Red-Tailed Family.

We will see the hawks occasionally and I encourage you to email you of any sightings.

Miagration hawk watches are getting ready to start and it won't be long before the juvenile Red-Tailed Hawks fly south. If you live in Scarborough join us at the Rosetta McLean Hawk Watch starting in September. You will see many varieties of Hawks (Sharp Shinned Hawk, Cooper Hawks, Red Tailed Hawks, Red Shoulder Hawks, Broadwing Hawks, Merlins, Goshawks, Osprey, Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles and Turkey Vultures.

Lets hope the male and female hawk decide the Scarborough Civic Centre is a great place to nest again. I look forward to posting the 2011 season.

Take care.

This is my favourite shot of the year. Watching the fledged red-tail hawk throw the stone up in the air and then catch it with his foot was very cool.

Juvenile Red Tail see by Scarborough Town Centre August 89, 2010

If anyone see the SCC Red-tails please let me know. Here is a note I received this morning from Murray.

Good Morning Ann,

I was over at the Scarborough Town Centre Walmart at 8:45 am.
I saw a young Redtail being mobbed by 2 crows & numerous starling on Progress ave just west of Brimley road.
No doubt it was of your babies!
Thought you might like to know.

Have a great day!

Murray

No Red-Tailed hawks at SCC but one loud and noisy fledged red-tail flying around the house

The red-tailed hawks may have left SCC but today when I went out of my house I heard that wonderful young red-tail call. I went to my front yard and yes I could hear the young hawk call. Suddenly above my head (high in the sky) was a juvenile red-tailed hawk soaring around and around. A couple of shots. There has been a pair nesting in the bluffs and I have seen them once in a while.

No sign of any of the Red-Tailed Hawks August 5 2010

Drove by work today to see if any the red-tailed hawks (adult and Juveniles) were around. No noise so flying nearby, nothing. Hopefully I will see them once in a while. A couple of shots from my last sighting.
