Title: Red Shouldered Hawks Nesting in Glen Stewart Ravine
Post by: Andrew on April 02, 2009, 01:09:55 PM

Pair of RSH (?) have been repairing a nest site in Glen Stewart Ravine in the Beaches over the past week.
Some images below if anyone wants to confirm/correct the identification.
Thanks to Sandra Meddick-Ruth for the photographs.

Hi Andrew,

That's actually a Cooper's Hawk my friend, I've seen lots of them flying along the Scarborough Bluffs.

Can you tell me approximately where the nest is?  I've been pet sitting on Glen Manor, up near Kingston Road so I'm in the area quite a bit.

The nest is in a tree on the East side of the main path about 25 yds south of the steps that ascend up to Kingston Road.
Sightings were daily last week around 9:00am (coincides with my dog walking routine) but haven't see them so far this week.

Thanks also to Bluffs Birder for the ID correction.
