Nest Vacancy

After the two young hawks learned to fly, the entire family headed elsewhere.  Sometimes they will hang around the area, but not this family.  It was a fun several months of watching the parents and chicks.  Hopefully, they, or another raptor will use the nest next year.  This really wasn't the climactic ending to the series on the hawks that I had hoped for.  However, I'm glad to have had a chance to observe them.
