Beautiful Red-Tailed Hawk
This Red-tailed hawk chick just fledged from its nest on a light tower at Coronation Park in downtown Toronto. It doesn’t know how to fly or manage human structures like the baseball fence from which it hung for over a half hour as it tried to wrap its head around what to do! See all 3 photos for the full story.
Just happened to look out the back window and see this guy resting by the pool. What a great moment!
