The Hawks Are Growing Up

As you might recall, we watched 3 baby hawks in a nest in our backyard here in Gloucester. They have since fledged and begun exploring their world as juveniles. I believe these are the hawks we see and hear nearly everyday out ver the marshy area behind our house. I have become quite attached to them as I watch them develop. They appear for me nearly every time I take my walk and I’ve begun to wonder if they are meant to be my “spirit animals”. So far, I have only verified 2 of the three together and I’ve started calling them Luke and Leia. I thought you might like to see how they have grown.

Both are seen here together
