    That's awesome. Is this really a youngster first exiting the nest? Posted 11 years ago

      I had nesting hawks last summer in my backyard...4 eggs all together...they finally hatched and it was a sight to see when these guys finally ventured from the nest! It was like a playpen in my backyard...little guys flying from tree to tree...screeching back and forth to each other...downy feathers floating everywhere...it was amazing! And a baby hawk is called an eyass... Posted 11 years ago
