About three weeks ago I wrote about two Red tails I saw in my  backyard. I
wrote that they were mating and someone corrected me. They were  copulating.
They stayed around and built a nest the second lot past mine in a  tall tree. For
the past couple of weeks they sat many times on my old oak tree  side by
side. They would touch their beaks together as if kissing. On Wednesday  one of
them was sitting on the tree limb and the other one would sweep through  my yard
between my bird feeders and house. There had been a squirrel eating bird
seeds and I thought maybe the hawk was after him.The squirrel saw the hawk and
ran up my peach tree and sat in the crook of a limb for a long time.  It  has
been an awesome sight for me to observe. I have peeped a few times with my
binoculars and saw no one on the nest BUT...about 6:30 p.m. yesterday I noticed
one of them was sitting on the edge of the nest. Today to my delight I peeped
again and mother Hawk was sitting on the nest. Yippee!
