I don't know if these are the same birds, but FWIW...
We live in south Eugene in the area of Willamette and 46th. When we moved
into this house last June I noticed that there was a pair of Red-shouldered
Hawks about. Since they were here so much I assumed they nested here. I
didn't hear them through the winter.
I started hearing 2 Red-shouldered Hawks calling to each other again in the
latter part of April. I saw them together on April 28 as they circled over
our house calling to each other with such intensity that I guessed that they
were in display mode. As best as I could tell given distance and light, one
of the pair showed immature plumage.

A RED-SHOULDERED HAWK was reported in Amazon Park in S. Eugene this morning
by daily birder/bike commuter, Paul Gordon:
"I was headed in to work this morning on the Amazon bike path and a RS hawk
flew from the creek right in front of me and landed in an ash tree near the
pool. This is the exact location where I was seeing a RS hawk in the
fall/winter! Very exciting for me."
There have been winter reports of one or more birds in this area the last
two winters (personally verified), and at least two reports of possible
nesting upstream near the Tugman Park / Donald St. area this spring.
Best,
Bruce Newhouse in Eugene
