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. Della Micah

Why she couldn't fly...a picture's worth a thousand words
Kay Meng, our photographer extraordinaire, cropped a picture of the eyass that was rescued on Saturday, and you can clearly see on the open wing where the smaller fly feathers are still in the casing.
Amazing picture, Kay! Check out Kay's photo gallery of the nest on the link to the right.
