I was lucky enough to get this photograph of a just hatched chick being fed by an adult bird. If you look closely, at the front edge of the nest, there is a stash of food, rat, waiting to be torn away and handed to the young ones.

To help others with improving their photography at this particular nest, I created a Location Guide that can be purchased here: https://www.greggard.com/location-guides/red-tailed-hawk-nest-nj-photography-ebook

If you are interested in viewing the progress of this nest, you can view my videos, from the previous season, showing the chicks from the week they were born to the week they left the nest:
