After the Flight ~ After a not-so-successful first flight, this Red Tailed Hawk baby sat on the ground for awhile, resting. It was very windy and he had trouble flying back up into the tree, making several attempts.
~ This Red Tail Hawk baby gathered his strength after resting on the ground, and finally flew off, several trees away from the nest site. I hope he made it back in time for Mom or Dad to bring home some lunch, as he sure wasn't ready to take care of himself yet. Still, it was exciting to see his first flight attempts, and to capture a few shots.
~ These are the two older baby Red Tailed Hawks, practicing flapping their wings, while in the safety of the nest. Their antics were fun to watch and to capture with the camera.
