About three weeks ago I wrote about two Red tails I saw in my backyard. I wrote that they were mating and someone corrected me. They were copulating. They stayed around and built a nest the second lot past mine in a tall tree. For the past couple of weeks they sat many times on my old oak tree side by side. They would touch their beaks together as if kissing. On Wednesday one of them was sitting on the tree limb and the other one would sweep through my yard between my bird feeders and house. There had been a squirrel eating bird seeds and I thought maybe the hawk was after him.The squirrel saw the hawk and ran up my peach tree and sat in the crook of a limb for a long time. It has been an awesome sight for me to observe. I have peeped a few times with my binoculars and saw no one on the nest BUT...about 6:30 p.m. yesterday I noticed one of them was sitting on the edge of the nest. Today to my delight I peeped again and mother Hawk was sitting on the nest. Yippee!
