Thank you!!!

Yes, the other two fledglings are still in rehab right now.

Yes, I am sure. The solid red tail feathers in the middle indicate this young Hawk is molting into its first adult plumage. You can see close-up shots of this phenomenon on this Pale Male page showing this mix of young and adult tail feathers in a young Hawk.

From what I’ve read, Hawks’ adult tail feathers typically start growing with the two innermost feathers first. Then the rest of the adult red/orange tail feathers begin to develop.

This year’s fledglings seem way too young to start developing these red feathers.

Our park’s fledglings typically leave the park in early to late August and none of those birds had begun to develop red tail feathers.
