Contrary to a post earlier this month, it appears that the Red Tail Hawks who nested last year near Stout Road in Seneca County haven't deserted the area after all. This morning we were spotted by a stunning adult as we came around a bend above the ravine. S/he took up a station in one of the tallest trees and proceeded to cuss at us in no uncertain terms. S/he flew to the opposite side of the tree and took up the refrain, only stopping when we moved on and were out of sight.
With the trees in full foliage, as opposed to last year's earlier nest sighting, it will be next to impossible to spot a nest, but I look forward to further lectures from one or two parents. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
