Baby Hawks

Every year we get a nest of hawks at our corner and this year was no different.  They are almost full grown and just trying to be brave enough to leave the nest for the first time.   I tried to got pic of them smaller again, but there was so much leaf growth in the wrong place that it was so hard to see them, and I am trying not too disturb them too much.

(I see 5 in this one)

They are so adorable and funny all at the same time, when they start to fly they are so uncoordinated and just kinda fall to land, I love watching them, make me laugh.

We are pretty careful to drive slow this time of year around there, and we always ask others to as well, they arent quick enough or smart enough to get out of the way of a vehicle for a couple weeks.

Baby Hawk

Our tree at the end of the road has a nest in it that every year is taken by red tailed hawks, unless the geeses get there first, but I only remember that happening once.  We been trying to watch him grow up, usually there is a couple in there but this year looks like only one.

So cute and they grow so fast in a couple weeks he looked almost grown up

(July 2)

He hasn't left the nest yet but  he has been spotted sitting on the branch next to the nest, not sure if his mom and dad are trying to kick him out yet or not, getting hard to tell him/her from the adults.  We don't go by the corner much and don't want to disturb them too much so been trying not to go all the time and get pics, but if we do go by....

Owls

Neil and his dad were out moving the cows this afternoon and he came in with a picture of some eggs.  He said they went by and an owl flew up and theses two babies were in the nest on the ground and the other 4 eggs weren't hatched yet.  Figure the babies were hatched this morning sometime cause they didn't move just a little flapping of wings.  There is also a dead mouse thier momma was probly gonna feed them.
