Here are two siblings hanging out together on Sunday. They are really starting to look like young adults.





Several times, I've seen what looks like a playful scuffle, where one hawk zooms in and shoulder-checks the other. In this instance, the incoming hawk knocked the other one off its perch.



Again, later in the day...

The swoop-n-bump doesn't seem that aggressive. I'm thinking it's part of learning to capture prey.

A couple of weeks ago, I found a fledgling perched alongside mom Dora (below, right). This pose only lasted a few seconds as they both lunged for some food that dad Christo dropped off for the both of them.

More hawk hijinks from this week to come...
