Red-tailed Hawk Progress Report
I just received an e-mail from my friend, Janet, regarding the hawk family in Green-Wood Cemetery:
Hi Rob--
I was never able to find the two Green-Wood [cemetery] redtails once they left the nest--I tried several weekends.
Today I found one--looking very robust, perched not too far from the nest site, and piteously crying incessantly. I actually wasn't sure if both of the young were in the tree--or if the one was just a fantastic ventriloquist. It wasn't opening its mouth and was making no discernible movement in its throat. So at first I thought its sibling must also be in the tree. but I couldn't see it. I also couldn't see the first one after it moved further into the large maple, so maybe they both were there.
I hung around for a little while under cover of a weeping birch to see if the lunch wagon would pull up--but no further activity except continued crying.
Janet
