Baby Red-Tailed Hawk Plucked By Bald Eagle Seen Sharing A Nest In San Simeon With Two Eaglets 

A baby red-tailed hawk is living alongside two eaglets in a San Simeon nest. “It’s certainly happened before, but it’s not common at all,” said Morro Coast Audubon Society Program Director Torrey Gage-Tomlinson of a hawk nestling being taken in by an eagle family. Time will tell for whether the eagles decide to continue raising the hawk as one of its own until it fledges, the point at which young birds’ have large enough feathers to fly, or if the hawk ends up being eaten or no longer fed by the eagle family.
