Birders,
I may need some corroboration on this but I think I have found a red-shouldered
hawk nest on the Greenbelt in Big Stone Gap, VA. The possible nest is in a
large old black oak on a small bluff above the floodplain of the Powell River,
Main Fork. Riparian area, plenty of fat squirrels. I heard the bird calling
while walking the greenbelt and surveying tornado damage. I looked and looked
for a bird soaring or perched. Then I saw the bundle of twigs in the fork with
a head poking out. Would the female be on eggs already? I will continue to
investigate.
Randy or Lois, I would appreciate your input.
