while giving a tour today we saw the red tail hawk take nesting material to her nest by the granary--also saw the red tail go out of the nest at the rookery board walk.....not sure what numbers you have assigned

We have numbered the "new" nests, both of which were occupied by different females on March 24th. The one visible from the North Marsh Trail (and from rookery boardwalk) is 31, the one near granary and visible from CCC driveway is 32. Jeana

Today while doing other things I saw one of the red-tailed hawks go to the nest we see from the 'boardwalk' and feed what I think are 2 chicks.......not sure

the w/t kites below the barn were there today and eventually I saw 4 fly around that area.....too far away to see if the

Will check the nests again next Monday May 8th...saw only adults this week. Thanks, Shirley. I'm so grateful for all these sharp eyes! Jeana

We have finally located the Red-shouldered Hawk nest up by Becky's gate. Check with Linda or Jeana for exact location - it's very hard to see. This will become Raptor Nest # 33. We observed both RS
adults in feeding mode on Mother's Day! Sadly, we believe that the Pine family nest of RTs has been taken over by a Great Egret, twice observed on nest this Sunday. However, the Euc RT family was observed by many of us from the Rookery berm, also in chick-feeding mode. Jeana

today I watched the ( dad) red morph r-t hawk fly to the nest and leave food for the young. The female landed about 4 trees away and was later seen on a snag looking for more food.

How far away from the green gate is the r-s hawk nest? I have seen them in the area but did not see them today....

If you stand at green gate, and face left (toward town) on the road, the RS nest is about 50 - 75 feet west in a euc crotch hanging over the road. It's hard to see! Jeana

Shirley, I found that if you walked down the road ( toward Watsonville) to the next driveway across the road from Beckys gate (not the driveway directly across ) and looked up to the tangle of branches stretching over the road, you can see it. Sometimes.

Our Red-tail triplets (Euc nest on western rookery border discovered by Lesley) are fledging asynchronously as expected: Alpha on
approx. Friday the 15th, Beta on Sunday the 17th, with only Zeta remaining as of yesterday. Tony (the dark morph Dad) and Carmella were both in attendance on Sunday. Many thanks to all our diligent reporters: Shirley, Caroline, Linda, Pat S., Tricia. Cheers, Jeana

Hi Folks,
We have been getting annoying SPAM postings on the board lately and I think perhaps it's time we retire the whole thing.
Seeing the last legitimate post was June of last year, it seems the board has served its purpose.
We have two options:
Disable further posts but leave the board up for those who like to remenisce or
Remove the entire board.
If you don't have my e-mail address, please respond here. I don't want to get SPAMMED by someone discovering my e-mail address in the message board.
If I don't hear from anyone by the end of the week, I will delete the board.
Thanks to all who contributed!

My 2&#A2;:
I vote for deleting the post. I think the DFG staff has a list for mass-emailing; it just cuts out the op for comments, & it obviously isn't being used for that!
