I dropped by Maplewood Park early yesterday evening and took a look at the nest, but I couldn't make out any adults in the nest from where I was - there are a couple of spots where you can get a decent look, but only from one side. With my local nest it's often really hard to see any adult from the ground when they're flat down. I also dropped by briefly last week and also couldn't see any adults visible on nest from ground level - but I did hear adult calls from the trees further down. I was unable to find either adult and they seemed to keep shifting position from the calls, but I'm pretty sure I heard two separate adults.
So I'm not sure of the status of the nest - they ought to have hatched eggs or be very close by now if the nest is still active.

I have been watching this nest closley for the last 2 weeks as well, but I too have seen no evidence of life there. They seem to have disappeared? Too bad if true.
I also have not seen Jo-Anne lately ( Bird Brain ) either in the parks or on the board?

Female hawk hasn't been on nest since 2 weeks ago. I see the adult male and female hawks flying all through middle woods daily, shrieking up a storm, mating, etc.
Bob - I'm out for walks daily but all different times of day. Not online much lately due to nice weather.
