[Summit] FW: Year of the Hawk, entire series

[Greg Gerritt]

The Year of the Hawk series consists of 6 videos, one covering each of the months of the breeding season 9 January to June) of the Red tailed hawks in Providence RI, beginning  with the attempt to establish a new nest site first observed on January 1 to the fledged young hawks moving away from the nest, though still dependent upon parental feedings as we move through June.  

 

Year of the hawk  January  2 minutes  51 seconds    https://youtu.be/RSnw5xLxeFg 

 

In February I was mostly watch a very precariously perched nest    2 minutes 18 seconds  https://youtu.be/bI2eX8oEAAw  

 

Lots of action in March.  The hawks return to the old nest site, add sticks to build it up, mate, and start to incubate eggs.  There are also some nice flight sequences and a good look at what one of the hawks caught  4 minutes 12 seconds   https://youtu.be/YF9Yol-inZQ  

 

April began with the hawks incubating the eggs and ending with them feeding little white fluff balls   2 minutes 56 seconds    https://youtu.be/B07hqYL-RhU 

 

In May the predominant task ifs feeding the rapidly growing young hawks  4 minutes 43 seconds  https://youtu.be/8Aw68-CAOUo   

 

The June installment of the Year of the Hawk series is the  last one.  The young hawks have flown the coop and from here on I see and video them irregularly and not much dramatic happens unless I am lucky enough to catch one on film hunting.  I am looking forward to starting this process up again at the beginning of the next breeding season.  4 minutes 18 seconds    https://youtu.be/j3dQdTjMDrc
