I arrived in the park to find the two fledglings playing around a plastic bag. I discovered it had trapped water and the young hawks were using it too cool off.
The hawks and their mother perched in trees for a long time in the hot weather as well. A thunderstorm came through and I exited the park.
The fledglings continue to delight park visitors. If you haven’t seen the fledglings in a while, try to make a visit this weekend. They’re at a delightful, playful age.
