It is so exciting to see, how could you not jump up in the middle of a meeting to see what the Red-shouldered Hawks are doing right outside the window?<BR/><BR/>My first encounter I witnessed the pair sitting next to each other on a tree branch on my way to work and had to pull off the road and watch them for as long as I dared.<BR/><BR/>I watched them long enough to discover their nest, which I was able to observe from egg laying through the fledging of their young. It was one of the most endearing adventures of my life.<BR/><BR/>Watching the male tenderly feeding the female while she sat on the eggs was beautiful. And watching the three chicks grow so quickly before my very eyes was priceless.<BR/><BR/>I love your photos and even more, your sketches of these gorgeous hawks. They are my favorite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010921422659089253.post-54071993143738828392009-03-08T18:07:00.000-04:002009-03-08T18:07:00.000-04:00Vickie, I love the painting and your description o...Vickie, I love the painting and your description of your first enconter.
