    … early morning it was over to my friends home and a ride up the tram to begin shooting the red tail hawk family … in two hours plus the adults did not show up … guess the food supply was off a bit as they did not show while I was shooting the nest and kids,

    The growth during the past week is amazing … in the top photo, the kids are lined up on the edge of the nest taking in the view and the one on the right is thinking about taking the same leap of faith that his parent’s do. the other two are just standing there looking out. In the photo below that we have one of the kids with wings fully extended and hopping around the nest practicing a takeoff … when of them would do this the other two laid low in the nest as there is only enough room for one at a time do do this. This hawk had come from the back of the nest and turned around and headed inwards. Fun to watch!

    I think they are within a few weeks of taking their first flight and we’ll check them out next Tuesday and see how they have matured. Red Tail Hawks have a ferocious scream compared to most other raptors including eagles and in movie land their screech is frequently laid in for Bald Eagles … it is the go to voice!

    The first photo below is a view from the landing area looking up the cables towards the home … I drew a red circle at about the point where I stop the tram and am level to slightly above the nest and below that is a photo that Glendon took of me this morning whilst I was shooting the nest. I am above a descending shelf in the cliff which falls away just beyond the shrub in the upper right of the photo.

    To-morrow, O to-morrow!
    Fast fall the fading years. A thought, a dream
    Of gentle words; of faith and love a theme;
    A smile, a step or two, and all is done.
    Quick is the veering stream of life full run;
    Yet in the crimson west still gleam
    To-morrow and to-morrow’s endless dream.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
