1. Are the others there or did he eat them

[elleng]

2. They don't eat their progeny,

other raptors prey on smaller creatures.

There are 2 'nestlings,' the third didn't make it and was likely sent to the creek.

3. Awww. I was kidding about him eating them cuz he's the food hog

6. Fish Hawk!

4. Awwww

Baby birds look so funny when the feathers are coming in. But this one will be a big, handsome bird in no time at the rate things are going.

5. Oh what a big boy/girl!

It won't take long for them to be fully feathered.

Thank you, elleng

UTTERLY amazing, and helping me put development of my grandkids (1, 5, 6, 7) in perspective.
