Red-tailed Hawk putting kids to bed - New Jersey
Adult female Red-tailed Hawk putting its one day old chicks to sleep:
Did you notice how gentle the parent is? Look again how she hides the talons away from the babies.
As you probably noticed, these young hawklets weren’t ready for the nap yet 😂
This video was recorded at the local 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
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:
