redhawk down


The young red tail hawks are going through a sort of geeky juvenile stage. They are growing very quickly in their home, perched high up in a sycamore tree. They started to get their dark feathers a few weeks ago and mother now leaves them alone for long periods in the nest. In a month or two they will start attempting their first flights.
