Media notes
As I watched the two still-downy nestlings, both adults flew in calling and dived together toward the nest, the male transferring food to the female in the air. The juves stood up, but neither adult landed on the nest; instead they both flew away. Recorded with a Sony TCM5000, using a Sennheiser ME67 covered with a foam windscreen.
Observation details
Assisting Noel Snyder with documenting behavior at the first known nesting of Short-tailed Hawk in Arizona, I watched, recorded, and videoed Short-tailed Hawks at a nest, from a blind we had built in a pine tree well away, but where the nest was visible. I add the recordings here. It was a clear, relatively calm morning in the upper Chiricahuas, but it got windy by midday. Though these recordings involved the same set of 2 adults and 2 juveniles, I will load them separately in the order in which I recorded them.
