hawk news
I have only seen Hawk babies in the nest once, I wanted to go back and get pictures but by the time I made my way back they were gone. I have found two nest's just walking around and I never knew that the redtail would nest on the ground. Both nest's where in the middle of about a 40 acre plot of land surrounded by trees on two sides, I guess it is one of there preferences. The first one I found, I was just out walking for exercise when all of the sudden I was under attack by the cock and the hen came up out of the grass in front of me (holy crap) I just kept putting my arm up to stop his attack, he was coming in just inches from my head, as I made my retreat I noticed they were 4 eggs in a stick built nest about 6' in front of me, I will always remember the day but I never went back.
I found the second nest just around the block from where I am now, I was riding my four wheeler back to a pond in the corner of this property and almost ran the nest over, had she not been there sitting I am sure I would have, again I was under attack (what the) this time there was three eggs in the same type of nest stick built about as round as a basket ball, I drove on with a smile. I checked on the nest the following weekend and there was three (ugly sorry) adorable little hawk squabs wanting me to feed them, Ok I smiled and drove on. I was surprised that neither one of the parents where there, I missed the next weekend visit and by the time I did return there was just an empty nest and no parents or young is sight.
Due to the amount of hawks I see while driving around I am sure there population is doing just fine here. I exsperianced all this before I even before I thought of raising pigeons but I am sure I would still do the same, just smile and let them be. >Kevin

No one was talking about your post Patterson.......some idiot registered and was posting a link about viagra or so I'm told......and the Mods booted them outta here and deleted the posts and links.
I was afraid to click on it for fear of getting a virus or something on my comp. Hubby would kill me.........
