Red-tailed Hawks.
In the early morning hours of Monday April 22, two of the hawk eggs hatched. Even before the young were out of their shells, Big Red and Ezra started bringing food to the nest. In this video, Big Red delicately feeds their young by tearing the prey into small pieces, giving the hatchlings just a little bit at a time. The hawks appear to be bringing a range of prey for their young; birds, snakes and rodents. In this video the young are just over a day old and are being fed what looks like a small rodent.
