Usually this time of year, the male would breed her after this, but he did not this visit~

An update on the Red-Shouldered hawk pair, as best I know to date.  It was just last Thursday and Friday, that I observed the pair about two city sized blocks from our land.  Then  sometime later in day on Friday, they appeared to have begun building a nest in same crotch of tree from last season..  They  have done some work on it since then, but still uncertain about how things will shake out.  I was able to take a few long range photographs yesterday afternoon, as the male brought a snake to the female and then left.  Usually this time of year, the male would breed her after this, but he did not this visit.  Then this afternoon, I went to same long range area to view with my binoculars, but no sign of them.  Then a while later, some five acres from nest site, I heard one of them very close and it was the female that landed right behind our home.  I waited behind curtains and watched as best I could as she flew another two acres further to grab a meal from her mate.  Thus, my closing remarks... Just not sure yet~
