6.28.24 Back of the Yards, Chicago, IL

  Please be aware, this post has content of a Red-tailed Hawk who died from electrocution. Please be aware of the effects of human activities such as electricity and poison on wildlife. We are a part of the natural world as they are connected to human beings.

My family and I have watched this family of Red-tailed Hawks since February of 2024. Please see the history on the Back of the Yards Red-tailed Hawks page. On this day we watched the two fledglings and a parent. One of the fledglings is pictured at the bottom of the page, electrocuted by a electrical transformer.
