Lots of hungry young birds around, but I especially feel for this fledgling Broad-winged Hawk, whose wails are not only piteous (all Broad-wings sound that way to me) but also right in my ears, because the bird favors the trees that shade my workshop.
Most years the Broad-wing fledglings take up begging stations several hundred yards away, overlooking secluded Maple Avenue, where their parents hunt, but this year is different for some reason... -Geo -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
