Our staff spotted an adult Red-Shouldered Hawk today, right in our backyard! Most red-shouldered hawks nest all year round, but some northern ones migrate south in the winter. They have been spotted as far as Mexico during their migration. They enjoy perching up high in trees, just like this one. They are often spotted nesting in Delaware woods, especially in the winter. In cold weather, they enjoy eating rodents and small birds.
