Eat, prey, love: bald eagles adopt baby hawk into their nest in Canada

The hawk, which is usually prey for eagles, is in excellent health after being taken in, and now 'thinks he's a bald eagle', according to one expert

Biologists and bird watchers in Canada are closely monitoring a young red-tailed hawk that has - against all odds - been adopted into a nest full of bald eagles and is seemingly thriving after taking on eagle-like behaviour.

The chick was first seen in the nest in British Columbia in early June, said biologists - possibly after one of the bald eagles raided a hawk's nest to provide food for their young.
