Henry and Henrietta have two babies! Imagine my surprise. One baby appeared to be all alone in the nest riding out a turbulent wind storm last night. When it calmed down for a moment, he made the most pathetic call to his mama and papa who were nowhere in my line of sight. Within a couple of minutes, though, he perked up and Henrietta landed in the nest. And, that's when the other little one showed himself! How exciting. Although I was tucked 30 yards away behind a palm tree, when Henrietta stared directly at me in a bone chilling kind of way that a mama hawk can pull off so well, I decided it was time to leave. (This photo is really cropped so you can see both of the little ones.) After waiting for so long, I was thrilled that one baby arrived -- let alone two. What a nice hawk family: Henry, Henrietta and the H.J.s

I am enjoying watching your hawks along with Cornell's Big Red and Ezra - such lovely, lovely birds!
Terrific photography! Kudos to you.
Wow, that's a bonus hey SRQ, one would have been great, two..brilliant! You sure can see where that expression 'hawk eye' comes from, what a stare. This is a very exciting development.
