This morning my wife Donna and I found a pair of Red-shouldered Hawks
actively building a nest in Kingsport. We had been watching the pair
for a few weeks and suspected they might be a nesting pair. This is the
first nest of a Red-shouldered Hawk I have seen in northeast Tennessee
where these birds are much less common than in some other parts of the
state. I have posted (poor) photos of the pair at the nest this morning
(Friday) and other bird photos from Kingsport at http://
photos.yahoo.com/phoxinus02 in the folder marked "birds" (ignore the
"order photos" stuff and just click on the folder). This is in an area
of high recreational use and a lot of foot traffic. It will be
interesting to see how the birds tolerate this as the nesting season
progesses. We will keep you posted.
