Learn to Fly
This is a Swainson's Hawk chick which is just learning to use his wings. He is jumping up and down flapping.. as you can see his feet are not on the branch. Its very nice to have watched this nest since the parents built it and now see healthy chicks getting ready to learn to fly.
There are two chicks, but we figure this one is a boy because they generally leave the nest before the females.
