In reply to Janet Baxter. Hi, I honestly have no idea but I would assume they'd recognize their kin much like other animals do after they've been separated for years and then reunited.

Hi. I’ve wondered if there is any evidence that hawks can recognize previous offspring. The literature is not helpful. If an adult from a clutch a year or two before turned up, might Sadie not know it was hers and mate with it? In other species, an occasional back-cross is not detrimental. Do you have any thoughts on this? Thank you for your wonderful photos and dedicated tracking of these amazing birds.

It would seem a new Sadie and Juno Saga begins.
Does Sadie choose the familiar nest to begin her little family next spring?
Juno is seen helping to furnish the Nursery and it would seem a new family has begun.
Good Wishes to the couple.
