Backlit by the morning sunlight, early on Monday two hawks spiraled high above #GloverArchboldPark. Judging from their plumage patterns, they don't appear to be the same pair who'd visited in the spring.
@BRuHeartsDarwin Yes, it’s always easy to tell they’re nearby! A pair of red-shouldered hawks has also been spotted at the bottom of Klingle Valley Trail. They might both be Walt and Libby, and they’re just moving around during the day, or maybe the local hawk population is growing!
On Friday morning, two red-shouldered hawks circled high in the clear skies above #GloverArchboldPark. After shooing away a turkey vulture, the pair flew off toward the Cathedral.
Red-shouldered hawks continue to make daily appearances in the sycamore trees of #GloverArchboldPark along Massachusetts Ave. Still unclear if they're looking to settle down in the area, or just looking for breakfast.
In recent days, a pair of red-shouldered hawks has been house hunting in #GloverArchboldPark south of #Tenleytown. It's almost time to make a nest, so hopefully they liked what they saw.
Please ask your US Rep to co-sponsor the Migratory Bird Protection Act (H.R.4833). A bipartisan bill has been reintroduced that will restore protections offered by the act + keep birds safe from industrial hazards Go here to help (it's free) https://t.co/HVxHVLuoZ8 Thank you.
Confirmed! Walt and Libby have nestled into a new nest! Read all about it on the Raptor Blog! https://t.co/TUUBstmZe3

Spotted Libby on the Klingle Valley Trail. She and Walt were calling to each other. Hawk watchers are continuing to look for their new nest. Stay tuned! @park_hawk #redshoulderedhawk#wheresdorothynow
@ellenpcampbell Thanks for the tip, Ellen! As of Friday afternoon the nest was still there, though the tenants had yet to move in. There is a sprig of green sitting in the nest that might help you find it next time you go to look.
