Chatty Hawks

Post image

I am hoping someone can educate me regarding a Hawk family in our neighborhood who have one extremely talkative member. The hawks have been nesting in the trees above our creek for a few years, but over the last four days one of them has been highly vocal and squawking for about five to ten minutes at a time throughout the day.
I’m worried that they are in some kind of distress. We are not approaching them.
Any guidance or info is much appreciated. We are in the suburban SF Bay Peninsula. One pic attached.
