It is pretty crusty up there. Yeah, the Hawks visit the nest once in a while even in the ‘off-season’.

I was wondering the same about age but I don’t know the answer. No, I don’t have the video footage you asked about. If her first brood with Bobby in 2015 was her first ever, then she is at least 7 years old now since Hawks typically mature at around 2 years old.

Or perhaps lack of prey? Do you have video of her eating enough prior to egg laying/incubation to compare with past years? And – do we know how old she is?

Hi, no, she had 3 babies last year as well.
