Just had a very vocal Red-shouldered Hawk flying over Tompkins County Unique Natural Area #189 (my back yard). There was a response from an unseen Broad-winged Hawk (a local nester), and the Red-shoulder, still vocalizing, headed south up the gulf towards Seeley Hill, beyond which lies Fox Hollow, the closest Red-shoulder breeding location that I know of.
Multiple singing Scarlet Tanagers here this morning.
