A family of hawks











We have a family of hawks that live in our trees. They are not afraid of us at all and will let us walk outside right where they are sitting or standing. The one I took these pictures of is the smallest one. The bigger one is twice as big. The kids say this is the baby hawk.




When the biggest one swooped down on the hill while we were getting in the car he was about
2 1/2 feet tall with a wing span about 5 feet. The baby only had a wing span of about 31/2-4 ft.
They have built a really big nest in a tree that hangs over our patio.
