Steve Wolfe  > The Red-Tail Hawks of Kaiser Hospital, Harbor City, California > June 5 --- Increasingly On Their Own
The 3 hawklets are now nearly 2 months old and in terms of size are virtually indistinguishable from their parents; only their markings and color identify them as young ones. They're spending more time apart from one another and are roaming around the hospital area formed by the Pacific Coast Highway/Vermont/Normandie Avenue triangle. They don't appear to have ventured across the streets yet, preferring to stay close as their parents are still providing the food. The parents (Mom mostly) are beginning to drop off live prey so the hawklets can learn to kill, but it's hard to see as they're usually on the tops of buildings. So this was a week for refining flying techniques and looking into windows while waiting for the aerial "catering truck" to come along...
