On 4/22 we viewed the Red-shoulder hawk nest at Fletcher Park.
An adult was on the nest, but no nestlings were seen, so we
assumed there were sleeping. Leigh found a better vantage point
20? up the creek shoreline, but still 200-300 yards away, & we
waited for more activity. The other adult brought in food (again
being chased by a crow), & we saw the nestlings being fed. There
were not 2 as initially reported, but three nestlings! They are
starting to flap their wings & become more active. I found a
web site that shows some great pics of nestlings like those we
have seen:

Judging by these photos, I would say the Cleveland nestlings are
between 2 & 3 weeks old.
Only other birds of note seen were Northern rough-winged
swallows & a Belted kingfisher.
