I had the honor of following a pair (my favorite hawk species)last year as they raised their 3 youngins but they have not come back this year.

I do have a pair nesting somewhere else near my home but I have been unable to find their nest as yet. Wish me luck too. The pair I watched last year were such great parents…I miss them.

On one of my visits to the red-shouldered hawks I’m following, I watched the mail being harrassed by two crows. When he flew, I wondered if he was tired of them or he was leading them away from the nest, maybe both. You have answered my next question, do crows prey on hawk young? Hope your hawks have success this year.

I love Red-shoulders and they love me:
I had never seen them during quite some travels through the Great Lakes area, so when I had arrived at Ann Arbor in October to stay there for a year, I went to Lake Erie Metro Park’s hawk watch in hopes of seeing one.
I had barely exited the car when the first bird of the day, one that flew unusually low and straight above me, turned out to be a Red-shouldered. It was the best day for Red-shouldered they had that year at the hawk watch.
So you could say Red-shouldered is my counter-Nemesis!

I guess I need to sneak a peek!

Maybe I’ll see the fledglings in 6 weeks. Of course, that’s not the young ones that I’ll be really interested in at that time!
