Hi ! This is my first posting, so here goes. Last Wednesday while snowed in at home, I observed 2 adult beautiful red-shouldered hawks sitting side-by-side on a branch of a tall tree in my yard. It was a thrill to see 2 hawks together like that, let alone the red-shouldered variety. This was along Price Road in the northeastern portion of Hocking County. I suspect that there may be a nest in the pine stand across the road on Wayne National Forest property, because I saw an adult and immature hawk over there earlier this year. The younger one was on the ground, as if it was learning to fly. I've seen these hawks from a distance most of this year, but couldn't type them until last week. There are also a couple of Barred Owls over in that general direction that call to each other every once in a while. They all stuck around for the backyard bird count ! ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
