PS Here is a link [again] for the Franklin Institute redtail nest webcam. . The chicks hatched 5 days ago. They are still fluffy white butterballs, at a stage we never saw the young at the Fifth Avenue nest -- [they were too small to be seen from our angle at the hawk bench.] Surprise for me: Both parents feed the chicks. The Dad is a little less adept, it appears, but getting better.
