It's Almost Nesting Season
I have been seeing a lot of the Red-Shouldered Hawk pair of late. Especially, the female has been perched in a tree in the sun almost every morning. Right after this shot, I saw them copulating so it shouldn't be too much longer before they have eggs. When that happens, the female is rarely off the nest and I usually hear her calling for her mate from deep in the woods where the nest is located.
After the 2 feet of snow in the recent storm, the pair was perched together.
Luckily, They haven't started their nesting season but it might be tricky to locate prey in all this snow. The Bald Eagles aren't as lucky. All the pairs are incubating eggs and it had to a difficult few days for them. I'm hoping they all made it through and will have eaglets soon. Stay tuned for an eagle report soon.
Happy Birding!
