Very much right-on. Mom does most, if not all, the *sitting* and dad does the hunting for the family. Once the chicks start growing,mom will join the hunt as well. Those young'ns get mighty hungry! I'd hate to be a squirrel in Central Park or a slow pigeon!

Apparently, according to the hawk expert who's been answering questions, he spends most of his time on a tree or perch where he has a good view of the nest so he can keep an eye out for potential marauders and deal with them before they can get to the nest. Or he's hunting for food to bring to Violet. Once the chicks hatch, he'll have to supply food to the whole family, all five of 'em. And before the chicks are ready to leave the nest, they'll have grown to almost the size of their parents and will be at least as hungry. So Bobby really has his work cut out for him. MIKE DIXON, have anything to add or correct?
