4.26.25 Red-shouldered Hawks, Chicago, IL

Please be aware, this post has content of the Red-Shouldered Hawk with prey. 

This is part of a continuing series about these Red-shouldered Hawks and their family. See information about our observations and a list of all of the posts on the Red Shoulder Project page. 

The Red-shouldered Hawk's two eyases were visible today. We call the mother "Ruby" and the father "Red".
