Afterwards, she moved around a bit, then hunkered down in the nest where I could no longer see her. It's possible she did *not* lay an egg, but it's the right time and her behavior seemed to suggest it. We'll know for sure in the next few days.
Leading up to this, the hawk pair spent a lot of time together. They really look like they enjoy each other's company, so I hope this leads to a successful family.
They've done plenty of mating...

And hanging around together...

Even in the rain.

Not to mention clearing the park of vermin.

And I can't get enough of watching them fly.
