It was quite the f= eat as when the adults came in for the food they were there one second and = gone the next. They came almost faster then the blink of an eye and I had = a job to even catch them through my binoculars. At the first attempt by Be= atrice for a photo she missed the opportunity altogether. She had two came= ras and was experimenting with both to try and see which would work better.= She definitely did an amazing job and some of the other photos that she t= ook were grand as well. I was priviledged to be able to see the red-should= ered hawk yesterday morning and also this morning. The male is now carryin= g food for the female=2C who is sitting on a nest somewhere. Where the nes= t location is will be like finding a needle in a haystack. I know the dire= ction of travel and have an idea of where the bird disappears over the top = of a ridge. The male is not gone long before coming back so the nest loca= tion is not too far away. With a gps and taking a bearing back to the road= in regards to the line of the travel I should be able to narrow it down a = bit=2C when time allows. At this stage in the game I do not want to distur= b the routine of the male. The only purpose of finding the nest will be fo= r the Maritimes Nest Record Scheme and to confirm if breeding is successful= or not=2C without disturbing the pair in any way. It has been a real deli= ght for me to be able to observe the pair earlier and to now be able to obs= erve the male as he carries food for his mate. =20 =20 James R.
