Happy ‘murica day.
Resident Red-Tails
Our resident Red-tail Hawks here in the Vestal Street neighborhood have been hard at work fluffing and restoring their nest the last few weeks. They tend to sort of fluff in mid-winter, and started in mid-January this year! – but the full restoration, shoring up, or whatever you want to call it is now in full earnest. As I walked along the road yesterday afternoon, I watched one of them, twigs in beak, fly from a large elm to the tree where their nest is ensconced. The Red-tail definitely sort of hid out for a few moments in the elm before taking flight again towards the nest – sort of trying to hide the location of its nest.
I can sit at my desk in front of the window and see them flying back and forth. If I am on a Zoom meeting, people probably wonder why all of a sudden I am fixated on something over my computer and that I have switched out my glasses for a better look at something – I’m watch the red-tail! And for what it’s worth, I can bird and go to meetings at the same time – I’m paying attention!
And then, I can hear their calls – which I love to hear – especially right here in Town. Sort of makes you forget you are surrounded by, largely, historic houses when you hear that call.
So, the Red-Tails are updating their nest, Ospreys are arriving, peepers are calling, and the snowdrops are mid- to end-of-the-way out. Happy Spring!

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all . . .

I’m volunteering for a raptor survey, and am monitoring three nests (two Red-Tail and one Cooper’s). This is one of the Red-Tail pairs. I’ve named them Satyricon & Mayhem. Not to anthropomorphize, but these hawks clearly know how cool they are.
