When it comes to choosing nest sites Sharp-shinned hawks prefer low points in the local topography. In large forests in undulating terrain, they favor the valleys, hollows or other places which are lower than average. Even on hillsides, the nest is usually nearer the bottom than the top, and is often in a gully or other dip in the land surface. This is a preference rather than an absolute need, and where no choice is available, Sharp-shins occasionally nest in woods on hilltops. This preference for low points could reflect the need for cover and seclusion, and is anyway in keeping with the general "low profile" lifestyle of the species.
