Baby hawk’s first meal!

This is Dora feeding the first eyass.  We have not seen the wee one yet, but Dora is clearly ripping off pieces of raw meat and feeding them to her babe in the back of the nest.  Can’t wait to get a peep!

The first of three eggs was laid 37 days ago. Recently, Christo has been bringing in many East village rats for Dora to swallow whole (he is kind enough to remove the head for her first). Dora is rolling the eggs like it’s going out of style. She has not been taking her normal daily wing stretch. They both watch, waiting, waiting, rolling, watching.
