I was weeping right along with you at the story of your red-tailed hawk, now widower. And relating 100% to the unfortunate choice of nest. We have a hatch of robins right by the back door. We can continue to use the back door but at risk of peril to the 3 hatchlings, who won't get fed as mommy flies away when we do. We have opted to just walk around the house to get to the back yard. Our back deck is also out of commission for the duration. (Shrugs)

Thanks for this lovely portrayal of life!
