IMG_7080 Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk

Around Work, Texas Canyon, Dragoon, AZ

These are the two juveniles I have been following since May 21st when they were about 3 days old.
That was 30 days ago and now they are flying short distances.

"Red-tailed hawks are monogamous and may mate for life. They make stick nests high above the ground,
in which the female lays one to five eggs each year. Both sexes incubate the eggs for four to five
weeks, and feed the young from the time they hatch until they leave the nest about six weeks later."
