Franklin hawk eggs hatching?????
Anyone watching the Franklin Institute hawk this morning? I've been checking in as much as I can over the last hour or so. It seemed the female was lifting off the nest and nuzzling (if that's the right word for a creature with a beak) something below her. Just adjusting the eggs? Or is a little one hatched or hatching?
