Hawkwatch at the Franklin Institute
2013 will be the fifth year for 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. The male - Dad - was lost in 2012, hit by a truck, but a young male - T2 - was accepted by the female to help raise the young, and hopefully they will nest together in 2013. - Della Micah
