Red-Shoulder hawk nest at dinner time.

I first discovered this nest on April 13. On tbe 24th of April I was very fortunate to have my camera ready when one of the parents arrived with the green snake to feed mate and young. What isn’t visible are the chicks. I saw the first one on April 30. There were three babies.
The pair raised all three. The last young left the nest on the 5th of June.

Red-shouldered Hawks at Suppertime

After spotting the Red-shouldered Hawk nest in my neighborhood in March, I began checking back frequently for signs of chicks. I finally saw them (there were three) and took this picture shortly after the adult brought to the nest what appeared to be a snake.
