Red tail hawks

[naturegirl]

I was just wondering about Red Tail Hawks? I have noticed out in the woods across from my place that I mother Red tail feeding her young in the nest. How long do they stay with Mom for before they are strictly on their own? I see she has also got 2 other babies that keep trying to come back to her nest but she chases them away. They are approx. 1 foot tall. I am not fond of Red tail hawks but the babies are so cute. How many clutches do they have? When I first noticed the nest being made I wanted to go shake the tree so the nest would come down encouraging her to nest else where but I noticed her feeding babies so I left her. This will be 5 in the neighborhood and in my thoughts that is 5 too many. My normal bunch of birds haven't come back to the feeders as much as they seem to have their eyes peeled across the street at the nest. Any advice?
