hawks' nest (no live cam, though!)
Stopped to chat with a couple of neighbors yesterday, as we do around here. We were chatting about feeding the local wildlife (deer, squirrels, raccoons, fox and birds). As we were talking, a bird flew from the tree next to where we were standing. The man asked me if I had seen the hawk before, and then they went on to show me the nest high in the tree. Seems there has been a nesting pair there for the last several years. Last year there were three babies, who all survived!! I watched the male hawk soaring around, hunting. We joked about putting a cam up to watch the birds (like the decorah eagles), but decided that we don't want our neighborhood overrun.
It just made me smile to know we have a hawks' nest here, with neighbors who are watching out for it.

I know we have mated pairs nesting around here. Some years I see the parents and a young hawk flying around.
Enjoy the hawks, and your neighbors!
