Tom Brings a Peace Offering 🌲 03/30/23 09:57

After Angel and Tom have a scuffle on the nest over a Vole, he shows back up within a minute with a piece of pine, laying on top of Angel. Being a young male, you're bound to make a few mistakes, but we have seen Tom adapt to his role of incubating and even handing off prey without a fight. So, we know he will eventually come to accept all of the duties of a partnership his instincts have given him and fight the urges of being a lone Red-tailed Hawk...Eventually. 😊

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.
