Bill Cawood,
Absolutely. The Red-shouldered could be on nests at this date. On March 17,
2004,
Bill Grisgsby reported Red-shouldered Hawks at a nest in Kingsport. Sounds like
you
probably have it nailed down well. Keep your eyes on it and let us know how it
turns out.
Let's go birding.....

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.
