Braintree Hawks
Since 2002, a pair of hawks has been raising babies in a tree within view of my office in Braintree, Mass. After single chicks in 2002 and 2003, the pair had twins in 2004. In 2005, they moved a little further away to a tree across the street. Here are images from all four years. Click on any thumbnail to start photo show at that point.

The hawks have to put up with getting mobbed by smaller birds such as mockingbirds. One of the 2004 twins, four days out of the nest, greets the dawn. Digiscoped. The 2005 nest is further away than in previous years so it was necessary to use digiscoping to get Junior IV. Televue 85 telescope, Canon S45 digital camera.
