Red Tailed Hawk Renest

This was a fun project to #renest a #redtailed #hawk whose nest in Columbus was destroyed in a windstorm. Glen Helen #Raptor Center rehabilitated the babies and were on the hunt to find a nest to place them. A suitable nest was spotted in Dayton just across the Great Miami River from the #Dayton Boat Club. The boat club were all-in on helping with this project and ferried us across the river to place this hawk with its new family. The nest is in a spindly, leaning Silver Maple, so I opted to climb a nearby Sycamore and traverse into the maple, to eliminate the risk of hitting the nest with a throwbag, and there just weren’t many safe tie in options on the maple.
