This monster of
a nest, which I
reported here on
Bristol Birds and
found near the
Middle Fork
Holston River in
Washington Co, VA
on 1 Mar 2012, has
been confirmed as
that of a Red-tailed
Hawk. An uncertain
size, it makes nearby
cattle look small. On
10 Mar 2012, an
adult Red-tailed Hawk
flew to the nest and
settled down on it.
The bulk of the nest
and its placement at
the time suggested a
possible Red-tail but
it also cried eagle.
The nest has the deep
and rounded shape of
an eagle's. I am posting this as a follow up as the search for new
Bald Eagle nests in the region continues.
Let's go birding . . .
