I watched this Red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus) through some small branches for a bit before it had had enough. Seeing a hawk at the Springfield Nature Center is always a treat.
I don't know if this is TMI but the Cornell Labs says this: "By the time they are five days old, nestling Red-shouldered Hawks can shoot their feces over the edge of their nest. Bird poop on the ground is a sign of an active nest."
