One of the first signs of spring at our home is the calls of the pair of Red-shouldered Hawks that have been nesting in the natural area behind our home for 13 years, counting this year. They returned on Friday, which is pretty much right on schedule. We're hoping they nest successfully again this year.
We were fortunate enough to have had a Great-horned Owl and Sharp-shinned Hawk hunting our backyard most of the winter, and a Barred Owl last week. Now with the RS Hawks returning, life will be quite dangerous for the small birds and mammals in the vicinity!
