Hi Tuma and all:
=20
I was present when Beatrice took the photo of the hawk. It was quite the f=
eat as when the adults came in for the food they were there one second and =
gone the next. They came almost faster then the blink of an eye and I had =
a job to even catch them through my binoculars. At the first attempt by Be=
atrice for a photo she missed the opportunity altogether. She had two came=
ras and was experimenting with both to try and see which would work better.=
She definitely did an amazing job and some of the other photos that she t=
ook were grand as well. I was priviledged to be able to see the red-should=
ered hawk yesterday morning and also this morning. The male is now carryin=
g food for the female=2C who is sitting on a nest somewhere. Where the nes=
t location is will be like finding a needle in a haystack. I know the dire=
ction of travel and have an idea of where the bird disappears over the top =
of a ridge. The male is not gone long before coming back so the nest loca=
tion is not too far away. With a gps and taking a bearing back to the road=
in regards to the line of the travel I should be able to narrow it down a =
bit=2C when time allows. At this stage in the game I do not want to distur=
b the routine of the male. The only purpose of finding the nest will be fo=
r the Maritimes Nest Record Scheme and to confirm if breeding is successful=
or not=2C without disturbing the pair in any way. It has been a real deli=
ght for me to be able to observe the pair earlier and to now be able to obs=
erve the male as he carries food for his mate. =20
