A pair of Red-shouldered Hawks made their nest in a tree that hangs over the exit road at Magnolia Plantation.

With hundreds of treed acres available to them this seems like an odd choice with cars and pedestrians passing all day long.

That’s a frog leg sticking up by the hawk’s feet, soon to be breakfast for the chicks.

The chicks were ready for their next meal.

Wow, how lucky to find them… Yesterday I missed a bussard right in front of me.
I sure was, Rudi, and to be there when the chicks were up and moving around.
Oh, I hate when that happens! It’s hard to look everywhere at once.
