A red-tailed hawk being raised by a pair of bald eagles on Vancouver Island is about two weeks from leaving the nest � if its three eaglet siblings don't kill it first.

    Interesting for sure. It's not completely unusual though for a species of critter raising a youngster of another species. This has been observed with mammals but this is the first time I think I've heard of it with birds. We shall see if the hawk survives until it is able to fly away on its own.

    I'm not hopeful it will survive. :(

    Once the eagle chicks see it's smaller and weaker than them, it'll just be another meal. :( Other birds, like the cuckoo, lay in other nests of birds that are smaller than their chicks for this reason.
