Bald Eagles Raise Baby Red-Tailed Hawk as Their Own in California
A pair of eagles in California have adopted two baby red-tailed hawks, raising them as their own. The first hawk was likely brought as prey for the eaglet already in the nest, but the eagles began to care for it as their own. The smaller of the two hawks died earlier in June, but the other hawk remains alive and under the care of the adult eagles. This is not the first time a red-tailed hawk has been taken in by eagles.
