The Red-shouldered hawks in my neighbor's yard seem to have moved to new digs. I hadn't seen any activity on the original nest for about a week. Yesterday morning I noticed what could be a possible nest on the other side of the yard. Today I got a good look while the hawks were around it. This nest has some white pine sprigs, something I've seen in other active nests. I set the scope up next to my driveway and managed to get some decent shots of the nest with one of the occupants.
Coming back to my house I heard the familiar twitter of tree swallows. Sure enough, there were a number of them overhead. Seems a bit early.
