The Three Red-shoulder Chicks of Allendale
Linda and Bill Kempey hosted a little meet-and-greet yesterday for their three new tenants, the Red-shouldered Hawk babies of Allendale.
The Kempeys' son was nice enough to cut away some of the lower tree branches so folks could see the nest during the event. (Thanks, Kempeys!)

If you watch them for awhile, you will likely think that "squirts" is a good nickname for them. As you can see from the tree trunk in a photo or two, their aim could be better.
