Re: [cayugabirds-l] Lots 'O redtailed Hawks
There are often 30-60+ Red-tailed Hawks on the Game Farm fence and the nearby big tree on cold winter days—"licking their chops.". What is amazing is that the hawks don't decimate the pheasant population and only take a few.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Lots 'O redtailed Hawks
Wow. So what is the explanation for so many red tails in one location.is this a migration event..or simply an over-abundance of prey in this particular locale? Or something else?

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Lots 'O redtailed Hawks
And an adult BALD EAGLE on the compost mounds at 2:00, then perched in the tree line above the compost for the next two hours. The number of Red-tailed Hawks in that tree got to 25 while I was there. I spent too much time sitting still photographing two young hawks reluctantly "sharing" a recently killed pheasant to get an accurate count. But, I could see 42 from that one spot, so I suspect Laura's number is more accurate than what I put in ebird.
