My last photos of the red-shouldered hawk chick in our yard, taken June 17 and 19. On June 21, the nest was empty. We have seen what we think is the chick on a couple of occasions (it seemed more clumsy than the adults) and can hear several hawks calling among the trees from time to time. #birds 🌱
They did it! The red-shouldered hawks nesting beside our driveway successfully hatched a chick, despite the female’s youth. The chick’s head seems too heavy for its neck, and when it stretches its stubby little wings it is so cute I can’t stand it. #birds
