A couple red shouldered hawks made a nest in my neighbor's tree. Here are three pics from the last three weekends. Three chicks that are growing rapidly, starting to test their wings and gaining adult coloring. Pics are average at best as I have very narrow views into the nest (25 feet up and 40-50 feet away). But I am enjoying the cuteness factor.

I think it's interesting to see the mix of fuzz and feathers. Nice shots!

Adding a new shot from today - May 18. One young one is still on the nest, two of them are hopping around the tree limb to limb above the nest. Size and coloring now are very close to adults, the adults are not around very much.
