Red-Tailed Hawk Pair at Work 🌲 03/16/23 09:31

Angel's mate is already at the nest hard at work when Angel flies in with a twig of evergreen. She sees her mate working on the nest bole, so she lets it drop on the nest, watches him for a moment, then he flies off the nest. She then goes to work on a larger stick, does a bit of cupping, then takes a break. Angel had stayed on the nest this time for about 50 minutes. Her nest visits are getting a little longer each day.

Angel's Story (from cam link above):
Angel is a very rare Leucistic Red-Tailed Hawk. 2 years ago, Angel & Mohawk (no longer around) raised 3 chicks and they fledged successfully. Last year Angel chose a new mate and he was still a subadult. Since the new male was not fully mature, they did not have eggs last year. This year he has fully matured and their bond seems strong. Will post a view soon about the history of Angel and how we came to put in this very unique and rare camera.
