In reply to Karen M. I'm very glad to have my telephoto lens back! There's been no updates on the fledglings for weeks. There've been no sightings of the two that were released back into the park and I assume the one at The Raptor Trust is doing well. I have been told that that facility is holding onto it until it's ready to hunt on its own at the very least.

In reply to Genia Naro-Maciel. It was such a relief to see them doing so well!

In reply to Jeanne. Yes, it looks like the two Hawks are well-bonded so it bodes well for next season. The fledglings have not been seen in weeks so there's no telling how they are. You will have to go back to my older posts for the details but I didn't see them hunt on their own or return to the park grounds after their releases.

I see you have your long-distance lens repaired! Excellent pictures, as always. Any word on the 3 little ones?

In the interim of my absence, has Juno and Sadie become a “couple”
I guess, I should be happy , Sadie will be mating and producing new baby hawks next year…she is a good Momma Hawk. Perhaps, we saw Juno at his most savage defending his intended lady love and territories, but not a good first impression.
Are the young hawks growing into new adults in the WSP, independent in finding food and surviving on their own? Life goes on , does it not.
