Observation details

DeWitt Allen led us to the area where he had watched a nesting pair of Red-tailed hawks earlier this year. We first saw the male fly into the woods and perch in a tree nearby, then the female came into view. Not too far away and deep into the woods, we were able to locate the nest and observe from at least 200' away the clutch with three nestlings moving around in the nest. The two parents were absent while we watched for at least 30 minutes.
