RED-SHOULDERED HAWK: Update

Img_9930
   Some sad news on the red-shouldered hawks that have been nesting in a sideyard near the Allendale-Ramsey border.
  They are the pair that formed after the first female was injured (and rehabbed).
  Marsh Warden Stiles Thomas found a dead two-week-old hawk chick on the ground about five yards beyond the nest.
  It is unclear if there are other chicks remaining, but these hawks have had a low percentage of success.
  I don’t like to post bad news on this blog, but this does serve as a reminder of how tough it is for wild critters — especially threatened species like red-shouldered hawks.

    This is sad and yes, we need to be reminded that all life is precious.
    Where did the released hawk end up? In the area with another mate?

    That’s too bad. I hope they have better luck with their next nest.
