Azfiddle, what a wonderful variety you get to see! We had a Cooper's hawk wintering over in Central Park which was quite a thrill. I even dreamed about Cooper's hawks.

MomOnBike, I would love to see a redtail get a rabbit. I could watch them hunt for hours (in fact, I do).

Three of our redtail babies died in a windstorm Saturday. The nest just gave way (gusts were up to 55 mph). It was so sad -- they were just weeks away from fledging. The parents started rebuilding the nest and copulating immediately, but the experts tell me they are unlikely to produce more eggs.
