It has now been fifteen days since the hawks began brooding their eggs, for the third time. Things at this point look rather promising. There are a few more days, before they will be able to hear the chicks from within the eggs, and that will be a great relief. The trees have been securely penned to ward off coons, yet others things still can take place, that could cause the nest to fail. For now, I wait patiently and it is so nice to be able to walk to the back of our property and up a hill to view the nest. There is one tremendous handicap this year and that is that the nest is very high and quite difficult to view from beneath the canopy of leaf cover, yet I have found a couple of places that I can see through...so far~
