Season of the Hawk

I saw one baby red tailed hawk head this morning. The technical word for the hatchling is eyass or eyas. It is difficult to know exactly how many babies are in the nest for a couple weeks. I always get fooled.

I took these shots when it was still pretty dark this morning, 10,000 iso. The new denoise tools in lightroom are pretty remarkable.

Should be pretty fun in the weeks ahead. 

Hawk season is one of my favorite times of the year!

Postscript: My neighbor Stephanie just called, said she just saw the mother feeding two very aggressive babies. So we have at least two.
