No news on the injured female red-shouldered hawk, but it appears that the male of the pair has already found a new mate.
Two redshoulders were seen in the Celery Farm this afternoon, definitely paired off.
They headed off toward where red-shouldered hawks have nested in years past. They were later seen together in that locale.
Nature abhors a vacuum, but that sure was fast -- especially for a species who has had an uneven track record adapting to suburbia.
Len Soucy of the Raptor Trust told Marsh Warden Stiles Thomas that four injured redshoulders have been brought in this year -- the most in recent memory.
Looking at the glass half full, could this mean that redshoulders are rebounding.
Will post anything more I hear about the injured female...

My two year old and I got a really great look at one of these hawks on Thursday. It was quite a thrill for us to see him/her take off from a tree above the butterfly garden. I never get tired of seeing such majestic birds and it was super cool to share it with my little one. Thanks for the update.

Don’t try to please everyone, and don’t try to share everything you know.
