Portland, Oregon, Redtails: The first egg is hatching!
Mom is on and off the nest, as she carefully inspects the
egg. The chick inside is making
noise. His little beak is in the air
pocket of the egg, and he has filled his lungs with air.
Portland Redtail Cam
Last year, Madame & Monsieur Redtail had three chicks, two females and a male. Unfortunately, the male succumbed to an insidious disease right before his two sisters fledged. This year, there are three eggs in the nest, and we hope all the chicks hatch and eventually fledge. It was so sad last year. The male adolescent could not feed himself because the disease caused a deformity in his beak. His mother patiently fed him, to the end of his short life.
