Angel and Mate Building The Nest 🌲 02/11/23 11:28

Angel shows up to the nest with a nice sized stick with a pinecone attached. She sits in the nest bole a few minutes, then jumps up to the outer branch. Eventually flying off. Two minutes later, she flies back in with a another stick, placing it down on the nest, then rearranges a larger one placed earlier. Her mate shows up with a branch places it down and pushes it in place. Angel then vacates the nest with her mate quickly following behind her.

Angel's Story (from cam link above):
Angel is a very rare Leucistic Red-Tailed Hawk. 2 years ago, Angel & Mohawk (no longer around) raised 3 chicks and they fledged successfully. Last year Angel chose a new mate and he was still a subadult. Since the new male was not fully mature, they did not have eggs last year. This year he has fully matured and their bond seems strong. Will post a view soon about the history of Angel and how we came to put in this very unique and rare camera.
