Media notes
The female is feeding the juvenile(s), giving the series of loud screams as she tears apart the prey of the rim of the nest. The very high-pitched calls are those of the chicks, the larger having a slightly lower-pitched begging call. The female was there from 10:00-10:03am, when she flew off. 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.
