Young'uns in a Tree

 

I was out walking at the end of the day and heard what I at first thought might be a seagull...until I realized that it was coming from a 50-foot high eucalyptus tree (not a place for a gull). It was sort of a keening cry. I looked up into the tree and saw this hawk, which I believe to be a red-tailed hawk fledgling who was calling to a parent to come and feed it. (They know how to hunt but are not very good at it; their parents leave them for most of the day but will come and feed them eventually).

Then I realized there were TWO of them!

But wait! There were THREE of them. 

Such gorgeous birds...it feels like a privilege to observe them.
