Red Shouldered Hawk Nestlings

We stopped by the hawk nest on our way to the family picnic on Sunday. At first it looked like nothing was happening--no adults were there, when suddenly this little ET head popped up. Seriously, it reminded me of ET! Long neck, big head with eyes on the outside. The only thing that didn't look like ET was the impressive hawk beak. No doubt that this was a raptor! Hopefully we'll be able to get some better pictures soon.
