Hi again,
Forgot to mention, but I'm pretty convinced that there are two different
RED-SHOULDERED HAWKS at E.E. Wilson, not just the one that's been
reported regularly. I keep running into one along the west part of the
Canal, and it seems to be a smaller bird and darker with more contrast,
might be an adult. It's also much shyer acting than the immature bird in
the south half of the refuge, which will sit still while you walk right
past.
Today the "canal" bird was in the same spot again. Within 10 minutes
after passing by HQ, I saw the "south-south" bird fly in to one of its
usual perches, from farther *south* in the wildlife area (so coming from
the opposite direction).
Happy birding,
Joel
