Work Continues on The Nest 🌲 02/14/23 09:42

Angel's mate flies onto the nest with a piece of pine. He takes quite a while getting the pine just where he wants it as a Blue Jay flies back and forth distracting him. After making a few nestorations and compacting the nest, his mate Angle flies in with a large branch. In no time, she flips the branch around, placing it just where she wants it while her mate goes up on an outer branch to get out of her way. The male Red-tailed Hawk then leaves the branch while Angel continues to make nestorations, compact the nest, and eventually fly off.

Angel's Story (from cam link above):
Angel is a very rare Leucistic Red-Tailed Hawk. 2 years ago, Angel & Mohawk (no longer around) raised 3 chicks and they fledged successfully. Last year Angel chose a new mate and he was still a subadult. Since the new male was not fully mature, they did not have eggs last year. This year he has fully matured and their bond seems strong. Will post a view soon about the history of Angel and how we came to put in this very unique and rare camera.
