Since 2009, there has been a Red-tailed hawk nest on a window ledge at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. A live-feed camera allows thousands of people in the USA and around the world to watch the eggs hatch, and then observe the feeding and care of the young hawks until they fledge in mid June.
Despite losing two mates, T1 and T2, to accidents, the female, Mom, has remained in the area, and there are high hopes that she and her new partner, T3, will nest together in 2015.

Moving on up - from nest to trees
All three eyasses are now flying strongly from the nest to nearby trees as you can see in Andy McGinn's pictures from yesterday morning (June 10). As they continue to explore and widen the boundaries of their world away from the nest steering is looking pretty good, but landings need work!
