  The Red-shouldered Hawks are back in their old
haunts at Holden's Hill. As I approached the nest in the 
tall chestnut, in which they reared a brood of young last year
and one in 1907, the males flew from a branch within a 
few yards of the nest. He was joined by the female, who
came from the trees beyond, when both birds soared about
over the woods keeping at a distance but screaming almost
incessantly. I know of no wilder sound than that of
their loud, ringing voices. There were no chalkings or
pellets under the nest. It looked rather more trim 
and shapely than when I left here last autumn but
I am not sure that it has been really changed in this way.
