It is unusual to see this species in spring at the garden. For years and years a red-tailed hawk (occasionally two) has turned up in late autumn or early winter and hung around the garden and the farm, departing in early spring or even in winter. But this year many of us have noticed two red-tailed hawks flying around together, over the garden, over the farm and over the Arboretum. Could they be nesting or thinking of? It might be a first in this location.
