The Nature of Things

A blog about nature and the environment

A pair of mommys

The red-tailed hawk chick that ended up at the Green Chimneys school in Patterson is doing well, the school’s wildlife director told me recently.

The young hawk, as you may recall, arrived at the school after it most likely fell out of its nest. The school’s wildlife director, Paul Kupchok, stuck the chick in with two other red-tails that live at the school permanently. The two adults, both females, have been raising the young bird, he said.

That’s him in the box with the two adults watching.
