Rott’n Hawks

While away on our 3-week middle eastern trip, a pair of Red Shoulder Hawks decided our quiet backyard was the perfect place to build a nest. Weren’t they surprised when people showed up and invaded their territory. They became accustomed to our presence walking the yard with Bailey pretty quickly. Now that Spring has sprung, they have successfully hatched at least two eggs. We have seen two fledgling hawks in the nest. One decided to be boldly photogenic for us to capture an image.
