Fantastic!
This afternoon, my neighbor showed me his digital shots of our red shouldered hawks mating...
Creepy in a way, but we are such geeks about watching them, we end up in each other's yard with binoculars. (They have their nest in our back yard this year!)
Man, I miss the James R. so much...thanks for the awesome list. You know I live vicariously through them. :)
Uh, okay, based upon re-read, it sounds like my *neighbors* have a nest in my back yard. (I for one would freak if that were the case.) In actuality, my neighbors are happy in their house--the red shouldered HAWKS have a nest in my back yard! ;)
Spunky, I was pretty sure that Carolinians don't nest, but hawks do. ;-)
On a warm day about 2 weeks ago, one of our ITers and I had lunch at the lib's picnic table, and we spotted what seemed to be young red tails mating. But the "nest" seems to be in too small a tree, and too low, and we haven't seen them again. All of which made us think they were first years (or whatever that Sibleys phrase is), not really ready to raise young.
