Rare Clip - Eagle feeding Baby Hawk and Baby Eagle at same time

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K31a6gsxGgM&feature=youtu.be

https://twitter.com/Sassephoto/status/871496172724080640

Published on Jun 5, 2017

"This is a nest occupied by 3 eaglets and 1 baby hawk, the eaglets are about 10 weeks old, the baby hawk about 4 weeks old. Amazingly the hawk is doing well with its 3 huge siblings! How did the hawk get into the nest? According to David Hancock, Eagle Biologist, likely mama hawk was involved in a fight with an eagle, lost, brought to the nest and laid an egg as it died. Since there were already eggs in the nest, the eagles incubated all eggs and treat the baby hawk as an eagle!"

Update: Exciting Update - Hawk fledged at Eagle nest, Sidney BC (live YouTube broadcast)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rurXi3nDcD4

Update: Just watched the live-streamed update. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rurXi3nDcD4

Briefly, hawklet is doing great after fledging and has made it back to the nest to be fed. Eaglets have another 10 days before they fledge and then about 5 days after that, the parents leave the nest to start their migration.

Everyone who lives in the area has adopted the hawklet and they all have the phone number of ARK Wildlife. The idea is that the hawklet could be captured and ARK would take over feeding and training, like teaching the hawklet how to catch small mammals. 

Interesting interview with David Hancock. Christian Sasse will be back at the nest on July 5th or 6th and the hawklet might still be in the area.
