Red Tailed Hawks

It's 85 degrees and rising. With the nice weather and fresh batteries in my camera, I decided to go for a walk. And about a mile from my house was the reason for my camera. Below is the photo I took of a family of Red Tailed Hawks. The mother is on the left feeding one of her young. This won't go on for more than a week or so and they'll be out on their own, finding their own food.

I suspect they may even chew on one of these "puppies." These prairie dogs are just a few hundred yards from the back of our house. I would really like to see a hawk dive down and get one of these.
