So .. very ... Noisy. Feeding juvs
Nearly yellow HOFI stand out from most
Hawk flew in with a large feather in its mouth .. right color and size to its own. It only took a minute for a pair of Brewers Blackbirds to start swooping and annoying it into leaving. #inflight #feather #chase
Pair had no tolerance for this Red-Tailed hawk stopping by too close to home. They swooped and dove and the hawk left after about two minutes. #protect #inflight
Waiting for juvs to come and find breakfast, but eventually ate it themselves
There seems to be about 1 day around a week after leaving the nest that each juv HOFI sports this funny bushy-eyebrowed look. Often it is just one side but this one has both "brows". I wonder if it is the first of new feathers or the last of old?
