Comments on: [Guest Post] Four Outta Five Hawks https://rogerpaw.com/2019/06/guest-post-four-outta-five-hawks/ The Red-tailed Hawks of Washington Square Park, NYC... mostly Mon, 10 Jun 2019 20:58:28 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.1 By: Mimi https://rogerpaw.com/2019/06/guest-post-four-outta-five-hawks/#comment-6172 Mon, 10 Jun 2019 20:58:28 +0000 https://rogerpaw.com/?p=52673#comment-6172 Observing the tender parenting skills of adult hawks as chicks emerge from eggs lulled us into a false sense of how the natural world works. Seeing the most tender attention of adult hawks as well as osprey parents (Dunrovin nest cam in Lolo Montana has 3 chicks) belies the fact that they respond to a whole range of instincts. Nest cams are fabulous inventions and now are affording us a larger scope of bird behavior–some of which seems cruel by our standards but might be perfectly normal in hawk land. Let’s not forget that come fall they are chasing their young away forever. Thanks again for all you are doing to keep us in the loop.

Do we have no knowledge of what happened to the third fledgling? I assume the new male kicked her off the ledge as well. Was hoping to see video to understand what’s happened. Hopefully Roger_Paw will be able to shed some light.
