     Normally, Hawks are solitary hunters, preferring to stake out a territory and then wait for the opportune moment.  Then again, there have been reports of Hawks showing up in groups that have the experts confounded.  For example, here's a group of fledgling H12 Hawks wound, welded and tied, and lined-up in the nest waiting for tags, epoxy and com-cutting...so they can go get grind/balance.  Soon enough, they'll leave the nest permanently to go seek-out their own territories.  :)

...two are timed around 38°, and two are around 40° advance.

They're kinda cute when they're young.  ;)

That's like backstage at a beauty pageant.

If you look closely you can see how to try and wind them yourself.

 

Far out flock...

Hi John,

 

The "cast" look ready to take flight!

 

(I came across this information:  "A group of Hawks is called a cast.")

 

Unequivocally, lots of performance potential from these young-ins; exceptional as always John!

 

Thanks for sharing.

 

Ernie

Those babies look ready for flight. I am ready to take this cast off your hands.

 

 Thanks, Tim
