[SBB] Red Tail nest in Palo Alto

[Ron Wolf <[[email protected]]>]

For the third straight year (at least), a paid of Red Tail Hawks
is nesting in the top of an oak along Page Mill Road, just
couple of hundred yeards southwest of Foothill Blvd. It doen't
look like there are any chicks up there yet, but the birds are
incubating.

The location is almost directly across the from the place where
OLD Page Mill Rd. intersects the current Page Mill Rd. There's
a line of tree along a creek overlooking a hore pasture.

The nest is quite visible to the naked eye, but you'll need some
optics to see the activity up there. At the moment, the oak has
not leafed out fully. I expect that the the nest won't be quite
as open to view later in the month. Even so, this location
offered decent views of three chicks last year.
