Just as this strange race is ending another passion of mine starts.
https://www.allaboutbirds.org/cams/red-tailed-hawks/
Big Red the red tailed hawk at Cornell University in New York has laid her fist egg of this year.
Since most of us are staying home I hope you can take time to watch and learn about these birds.
Maybe you too we become addicted.

I saw that! I knew they had been seen mating, but thought it was a tad early for eggs! Do you know when she first layed last year? I looked at the cam last night, she looked miserable, wet, cold and windy.

They are a wee bit earlier than last year, but not by much historically. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mz29G6Mt-mTHJz0XoBmIL0AV7kC6-3VYX9k074BpK0g/edit#gid=1195911031
