Red-Tailed Hawk update: Early this week the two young hawks on Cottonwood Creek, were spotted at various times, in the nest or perched in trees. During some stormy weather earlier in the week I spotted the two youngsters in the old nest, side by side. Yesterday I saw one of the adults flying towards the nest area with a mouse dangling from its beak. I did spot one of the young birds about 200 feet away, perched in a cottonwood tree, surrounded by a squadron of smaller birds including Western Tanagers. I am not positive it was a hawk and it could have been an owl.
