I haven't heard from my young Cooper's Hawks during the last few days - maybe they're out trying to fend for themselves now - but begging Sharp-shin youngsters are still about. Occasionally I hear the cry of a Broad-winged Hawk, and look up to see one or two soaring above the woods. Today there were three, making me wonder if the nestlings I saw in June actually fledged before anyone else got out to see them. Juvenile Red-tails are also begging in the area, though I suspect their nest was down in the valley, maybe near the West Danby Fire Station as in years past.
