The second of the three eggs hatched this morning.
I caught this footage of the new hatchling while watching the live nest cam at 7:47AM.
In the video below you see Sadie with the two hatchlings in the nest and then of her feeding both babies minutes later. Bobby delivers a new branch for the nest, watches his two little ones get fed, then leaves.
The first Hawk egg hatched yesterday at around 8:30AM.

Thank you Roger for the excellent closeups of feeding. She hides them because of her size and positioning. Lovely! Aren’t we lucky for these Red Tails.
You’re welcome, Avel! Following these birds has been an awesome journey. 🙂
Sadie feeds her babies and Bobby fixes up the home…cant get more “human” than that!
What wonderful family photos, Roger Paw.
It brings a sense of peace to tune out the worldly noise and watch the nest w/ our wonderful Hawk family.
Thanks, Roger_Paw.
I was pretty excited to be able to get that frame of the whole clan together. Thanks, Jeanne!
I don’t know why, but this video of the delicacy and precision that Sadie manages in order to feed both little babies is so moving. When Bobby flies in a observes it’s wonderful, but Sadie’s care is mind-boggling.
It really is remarkable how these birds of prey can be so tender. It’s great how we get a peek at all these aspects we wouldn’t have expected from them in the past.
Such good parents!
So beautiful and tender. In spite of the poison in the world, life goes on.
