Astoria Park

By D. Bruce YoltonOther Red-tailed Hawks

All was quiet when I arrived.  The eyasses were settling down after a feeding.

The mother keeps watch about 20 feet to the left of the nest.
One kid has already settled down and is joined by the second.  Hawk watching isn’t always exciting.
The biggest excitement of the evening was this Blue Jay who gives the mother a hard time.
So much so, that she moves…
…40 feet to the right of the nest.
