Please be aware, this post has content of the Red-Shouldered Hawks 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 three eyases seem likely to fledge soon. We call the mother "Ruby" and the father "Red". A Cooper's Hawk sat in a tree nearby the nest. Soon a parent flew in and they both chased it off.
