Media notes
After a lot of calling, there was another food transfer with both adults coming to the rim of the nest at 11:00am, though the male dropped it on the nest. The prey item was a Western Tanager, which the female would then feed to the juves. 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.
