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.

Eyasses play with a feather
Here's what we can expect as the eyasses grow bigger and bigger and bigger...... The nest gets very crowded when they are playing. These are last year's eyasses on June 3, 2009, just a couple of days before they started to leave the nest.
