Ellis the Hawk

Great story of Ellis the Hawk.

A giant nest fell out of our tree; there's a dead baby hawk underneath


A second baby hawk. Poor guy, he never had a chance


We found this little guy under a different tree the next day


His "you're getting too close" face


"Leave me alone!"


Looking dapper in the sunset


He couldn't fly yet. Good thing my dogs aren't as vicioius as they look!


Getting bigger!


Puffy chest


Growing up - Baby duck on the menu!


My second favorite picture


My favorite picture


Finally able to fly up to the neighbor's playground


Right outside our back door


This is our last pic of Ellis. We haven't seen him since, but when we see a hawk flying up above, we like to think it's him

The system includes more than 450 natural, historical, recreational, and cultural areas throughout the United States, its territories, and island possessions—more than 84 million acres in total. As you can imagine, this vast system of parks, memorials, and monuments requires expertly coordinated management on a national scale.
