I arrived to view the 102nd St. red-tailed hawk nest at 3:20 and found a feeding in progress. The papa hawk arrived just seconds after I did.
He hung about for about a minute and a half, half of it leaning over the nest bowl alongside the female and half of it perched down to the side.
And then he departed, leaving all the work to mama. And work she did, a good 15 minutes of activity or more. From her changing position she was plainly feeding at least two babies, and three would not be a surprise.
