Nice find on the Red-shouldered Hawk Dave! You didn't miss anything at Crow Valley that you haven't seen before I'm sure. It was a nice little getaway for me. My days away from fiance and daughter are few and far between though. I wish the location would have been a little more exotic but I saw good birds nonetheless. I hope to get out and see the beast sometime this week if possible!
