Red-tailed Hawk feeding chicks in the nest - New Jersey

Adult female Red-tailed Hawk feeding its young:

At the time of recording this video, these hawklets were about 3 days old.

Notice the food stash at the from the nest 🙈 These young hawks are often fed with a caught nearby rats, squirrels, chipmunks and even birds.

This video was recorded at the local Red-tailed Hawk nest in Passaic County, NJ.
