Sometimes finding a hawk fledgling is a matter of luck.
The young cathedral red-tail seemed to be in hiding early Tuesday evening. Perhaps he was tucked away somewhere where shade gave him a bit of relief from the hellacious temperatures. But just before sunset when I was watching a couple of the cathedral peacocks, he came flying along the eave the length of the south side of the cathedral. He started to perch on a small ledge on the unfinished tower on the West Front but thought better of it and returned halfway to a tall finial.
The local blue jays took note. But it was hot and it was late; they only made only one weak attempt to fly up and chase off the red-tail.
