Red Tailed Hawks

These three baby Red Tailed Hawks have become local celebrities because their parents elected to build their nest on the side of a building near the Alewife T Station. They are 41 days old and expected to make their first flights today or tomorrow. Females of this species are 25% larger than the males leading me to believe that there are two girls and one boy. Dad made a pit stop with some food which was quickly devoured. After lunch the kids did a little wing testing.
