More work on the Red-Tail Nest

Big Mama and her mate, Eggbert are back on the scene!

February 8, 2012

We spotted Big Mama snapping twigs off the maple tree out back, while a small group of kamikaze
Blue Jays took swipes at her.  Oblivious, she soldiered on, methodically carrying twigs back to the
old nest.  The elusive Eggbert did a fly-by, but chose not to linger after he spotted a paparazzo.

Such is fame! Last photo is male Red-Tailed Hawk

Female Red-Tailed Hawk in nest Sept 30, 2011

Ann Red-tail, A few days ago, Big Mama landed on her nest, whereupon she was attacked from below by squirrels who live in the tree. Her wings kept opening and closing. She then flew to the spruce across the street. She is home for a while, I guess. Cooper's hawks seen this morning over Warden Avenue. Lots of feathers. Luv, Diane

Female Red-Tailed Hawk seen

A note from Diane. The two juvenile red-tailed hawks have left the area but the adults are still seen occassionally. Ann Ann Red-Tail, I was crossing the hydro field on Brian Avenue when who should appear but Big Mama! She flew out of an adjacent backyard and landed on the hydro tower next to the road. The local birds immediately started attacking, but she seemed very serene. We haven't seen Egbert at all. See ya, Diane

J venile red-tail hawks today July 17 2011

Juvenile Red-Tail Hawk Charlene (female) captured a rat in the field. She was enjoying the tail on the rat. (I did a double check to see if any rats were near me as I only had on flip flops)

Gary, Diane and I were thrilled to see both juveniles today. They looked hot but very healthy.





Young Chance (male) was flying around the hydro towers.

Female Red-Tailed Hawk July 15 2011

Carol and I stopped by Wexford on our way home from the Harlequin Building. We were very pleased to see the female adult Red Tail on the hydro fields. Her belly is almost pure white.

Hide and Seek with the hawks. July 4, 2011

The Wexford Red-Tailed Hawk babies were playing hide and seek with Diane and Gary. Too bad they forgot about me. Found you both.




Can you find me
