Day 176/365
This juvenile had almost certainly already fledged, but it had returned to the nest to find scraps or to be fed. At any rate, having missed ten days of their development because of illness, I was thrilled to find it in the nest. Since one looked to be younger than its siblings (hawks start sitting on their eggs as soon as they've laid the first) and since fledglings may return to the nest after leaving it, I thought there was a good chance I'd see one, and was very much hoping I would. The light wasn't great and neither was my energy after two weeks out sick, but I did get a few shots and was pleased to find it eating.
