Chick pics to take you into the weekend

Here are some Red-Tailed Hawk chick pics to take you into the holiday weekend. These guys are about five weeks old and are starting to transform from fuzzy little white bobble heads into "tweens" with dark wings and tails. 

They're still very fuzzy and cute, though.

This is Mom Amelia keeping close watch over her little guys a few days ago.

All of the above photos were taken with a telephoto lens from very far away, and have been heavily cropped. The whole hawk family appears to be doing well and things are progressing as expected.
 
More to come.
