["Rick Phillips" <rickanddonna98@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's interesting Don about the accipiter nesting preferences.  The preference 
of sharpies to nest in areas with more evergreens around and Cooper's maybe in 
more open deciduous woods is about what I would expect, but both Cooper's Hawk 
nests I've seen around Kingsport (both on Bays Mountain) were in conifers (one 
a hemlock and another in a pine) and one held young in late June and the other 
in early July.  Don't remember ever finding a Sharp-shinned Hawk nest around 
here.
