Practicing and learning. Red-Shouldered Hawk chick (Buteo lineatus)

This is yet another image of my nest work and offers a behavioral shot of a Red-shouldered Hawk chick beginning to think about the fledge by flapping his/her wings and obtaining a bit of lift off from the nest. And it is showing growth getting some pin feathers which is necessary to hold his wing structure together for flight.
