In the last few days, Christo and his new mate, Amelia, have been getting along well. They've been working on the nest together and getting comfortable with each other. Below, Amelia is on the left and Christo is on the right. Note the difference in size and the color of their heads.

Christo continues to be so industrious, breaking bark off dead branches to take back to the nest.

The hawk pair continues to mate several times a day. So far, it doesn't look like Amelia has laid any eggs.
