SITUATION- This hawk built its nest on a 

 rock ledge on the ± top of Stone Mt. near 

 Big Stone Gap, Va. The nest was composed of 

 small sticks and pieces of hark on the inside, 

 while the greater part was constructed of 

 larrge sticks. The female left the nest when 

 she saw me about 50 yds. away and started 

 circling over me screaming every few seconds. 

 She made two or three dives at me, but she 

 did not come very close. 



The nest contained one egg and 

 a young feird about a day old.
