Christo and Amelia's hawklet was quite active this past weekend... with numerous sightings as the young red-tailed hawk continued to hone his food-gathering skills.
On Friday, Christo brought a mouse by for a snack. Unfortunately, as these photos by Steven show, the mouse fell off the branch and into the bush below during the exchange from father to son. The young hawk spent considerable time looking for the mouse...
In the end it was just easier for Christo to drop off another mouse...
By Saturday, the juvenile was on to larger food sources... this photo is by peter radley...
Yesterday, the young hawk caught a squirrel ... these two photos are by Steven...
And it also appears that the young hawk has (hopefully) recovered from his recent malaise...
