Brian Gagliardotto, who shared that great Mink shot yesterday, photographed this Red-shoulder at the Celery Farm.

To me, no bird says "Allendale" like the Red-shouldered Hawk.

It is endangered when nesting, and it has nested in Allendale for roughly two decades now.

Several years ago, with the help of some birders, I put together a book called "Survival: The Red-shouldered Hawks of Allendale."

The Lee Memorial Library has a copy, and you can download a free ebook copy here.
