Red-Shouldered Hawk with Young

Red-Shouldered Hawks

This past May I had the opportunity to see a Red-Shouldered Hawk nest with two chicks.  The next time I came to the site, they both had fledged.  But on this day, I spent about 45 minutes observing their behavior as they were being fed.  One of the two chicks was testing his wings, and that was fascinating to watch.  Here are the photographic highlights of my evening with the Red-Shouldered Hawks.
