Jeff Cooper of the Virginia Department of Inland Games and Fisheries came up from Fredericksburg to assess the condition of the nestlings and decided it was appropriate to remove them from the nest. Although finally being fed, it was not sufficient. The survival of smaller of the two chicks and the proper development of the larger one was in question. The young hawks will be cared for by Kent Knowles of the Raptor Conservancy of Virginia and released into suitable habitat when they are ready. We are very grateful to both of these men for their professionalism, concern, and willingness to intervene to assure that these two young hawks live to soar over Virginia.
