The hawk family we’ve been observing in Burnaby is getting close to splitting up. The kids are fledged, and while they’re still calling for their parents, we sense they’ll be off not too long from now.

It’s hard to see them with the trees fully leafed out, but we’ve been fortunate to spot them almost daily.

Gosh they are beautiful. And deserving of respect and privacy. So we never hang around or stare for more than a minute or two.
