Hawk's Nest

Both Red-tailed Hawks I mentioned in the previous post were out and about yesterday, returning occasionally with nesting material. Given that it was fairly cool at the time (high 50's), it is unlikely, I think, that they would have left unprotected eggs. I decided to have a last look before leaving Marathon this morning and found what looks to me like a Red-tailed Hawk who just might have laid some eggs overnight . . .

Just in case you missed it last time I was in New Mexico, this afternoon as I passed through Las Cruces I once again encountered the World's Largest Roadrunner!
