Red-tailed hawks nest from February to June. The female lays one to four eggs, which take 28 to 32 days to hatch. The young, which are raised by both parents, are covered with white down for the first week, until feathers begin to grow. After six or seven weeks, the young hawks finally leave the nest.

What time of year do red-tailed hawks lay eggs?

Both sexes incubate the eggs for four to five weeks and feed the young from the time they hatch until they leave the nest, about six weeks later.
