The female redtail hawk that I watched nesting at Swallows Park this past spring has been making appearances again. She is very recognizable by her deformed beak.
A chick from the Swallows Park nest pokes it's head up to take in the view. You can read about this nesting adventure on my blog post
We've become addicted to this webcam, a red-tailed hawk nest on the ledge of a building on the campus of University of Wisconsin-Madison.
When we first came across it, it was just red-tailed hawk mom (or dad — they take turns) sitting on eggs — not a lot of action. Now that there are babies, we can't turn it off. Mom and dad fly in with a steady stream of unidentifiable dead critters to feed them. It's fascinating to watch.
Daniel got to see the first chick hatch. We're now up to two chicks, and with still one egg unhatched.

Two chicks! Still one unhatched egg.
Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk with Nictitating Membrane over its eye. This is a clear membrane forming a third eyelid in birds that can be drawn across the eye to give protection without loss of vision.
