On Wed. June 25 our 1 baby Red Tail Hawk fledged unseen.
The nest was on a power tower.
The good news is that today around noon, I heard a Red Tail calling.
I went out back and heard the call from the direction of the power tower.
I located the young Red Tail low on the tower structure. What a good feeling to know it survived the first two days out of the nest.
So here is the rest of the story. We can easily see this nest with a spotting scope from our living room. It is more challenging when the trees leaf out.
We have watched the nest for 9 years.
At one point this spring we thought the nest had failed because we did not see any activity.
Then at the end of April we started to see a Red Tail in the nest.
Finally on May 22 I saw tiny fuzzy white wings flap.
This is the first time that there has only been one young bird.
