Hawk Rising
Maria Gianferrari
Over the course of one day, a girl watches red-tailed hawks from her window and yard. A pair nests in a cedar tree while the female remains with their chicks and the male searches for prey. His hunt includes unsuccessful attempts at a chipmunk and a sparrow before he brings a squirrel back to the hungry young at sunset. The book shows the demands of feeding nestlings and the work of a bird of prey in a suburban neighborhood.
