Due to our crazy schedule, we haven't been over to check on the Riverside red-tailed hawk nest since May, with one brief exception on a windy mid-June Sunday evening when any self-respecting hawk had probably gone to roost for the evening.
Unfortunately, there was sad news from the nest site a week ago. Although all three baby hawks had fledged, probably a week earlier if not closer to two, reports were that one of them was observed on June 29 as being grounded and apparently sick. The bird was caught and taken to the Wild Bird Fund, but we have heard that it died the next day.
