Mama Hawk preparing nest

Mama Hawk has been busy for the last few days preparing her nest. We've even seen Daddy Hawk around a few times.

This little finch or sparrow thought it was safe to check out the hawk's nest. I guess she knew she was nothing but a light snack, haha.

View from the camera

Here are just a few of the birds that have landed on top of the tower. Nice view from there I guess.

You just have to pause this one at the end to enjoy the view!

Baby hawks

Three baby hawks have hatched. Only one of them is visible in this picture as the white fuzzy blob in the nest.

Lilly making herself at home

Last night, we were working outside and left the door open. When we came in, we found Lilly perched on the hutch for the night. We put her out, of course.

This morning when I got up to let Findlay out, Lilly was right at the door and raced inside. She went right to the hutch again. Just to see what would happen, I put a towel underneath her and waited. Sure enough, a couple hours later, she left us this gift and was equally anxious to go back outside.

Hmmm... probably won't let this become a habit for her, but it was interesting.
