The hawks copulated several times on three different days, beginning March 31~

The pair of Red-Shouldered hawks have been quite busy this past two weeks, since their eggs failed to develop and nest fell away. They have chosen a very high nest sight this time. In fact within a week, I will probably have very little view of nest activities for a bit,as new leaf growth takes over my best views. Before I share the rest of the news, I would like to thank once again David and Judy for their willingness to allow me to have an Arborist place the nest back up into their tree. I have made such great friends through my care of this pair of hawks. I have been blessed once again by Ricardo and Marquisa whose backyard meets along the back with our own Tingsgrove. They are a delightful couple with three beautiful daughters, all interested in the life of these hawks. They have graciously allowed me to also place pending around the nest tree as well as any trees that have top branches touching the nest tree. Why do this, to keep Raccoons away...the worst destroyer of hawk eggs and chicks around here. The hawks copulated several times on three different days, beginning March 31. They worked all day Easter Sunday on nest as well as again today, reinforcing it. My guess is that there are 3 eggs once again. An interesting note is that yesterday the pair of hawks soared with most probably their offspring from last year as well as an additional Red-Shouldered hawk. Ricardo and Marquisa saw this, which in the past, I had only seen the parents and offspring soar together~
