[chris.sloan@xxxxxxxxxxx]

A pair of Red-tailed Hawks is nesting in my yard in Bellevue (west Nashville).  
One was incubating this morning when I left for work.  They appeared to be 
nesting last year for a brief period of time but then vanished.  I've seen one 
around the yard for a couple of weeks, but my first indication of nesting was 
Saturday when one was perched above the nest and started angrily screaming at 
me and my friend when we were in the driveway.  The bird assumed an extremely 
aggressive posture (slightly hunched with folded wings held just out from the 
body); I was afraid I was going to end up like that girl at Fenway!
