Red-Tailed Hawk babies are growing! See below for an update from the Petters. One baby moved down into the nest, but this one remained on the look-out. Click on the picture below to enlarge it and see more color and detail on the hawk.
The attached pictures were sent in to ORWMA by Larry Petter. Linda Petter was so excited to take these of new hawk babies! The parents are the Eastern Red-tailed Hawk. This is the 3rd year in a row they have raised little ones here at Oakridge. Both hawk parents come regularly to feed the chicks.
Red-Tailed Hawks are monogamous and are solitary nesters. This is the most common hawk in North America.
