Red Tail Blue wing tag‏ Fred Sears 7/19/13

So the Red-tailed Hawk with the Blue wing tag apparently nested by St. Joe's this year (a cottonwood between St. Joe's and Cornwall park). At the Current time it is humoring/ enticing a young Red-tailed Hawk to fly and fend for itself which it seems reluctant to do. The image is of the the untagged adult. Both adults are actively calling and flying close to the chick seemingly trying to entice it to fly which it response to by rapidly jumping between limbs on its tree of the moment.
