Red-tailed Hawk nest - New Jersey
Adult female Red-tailed Hawk feeding a two day old chick:
Red-tailed Hawk feeding young - NJ
If you look closely, under the white, fluffy chick, there is a stockpile of food brought in by a male hawk right after the two chicks hatched. This cache consists of a squirrel, rat and other rodents.
I photographed this Red-tailed Hawk nest in Passaic County, NJ.
To help others with improving their photography at this nest, I created a Location Guide that can be purchased here: https://www.greggard.com/location-guides/red-tailed-hawk-nest-nj-photography-ebook
