Abstract:

In the mid-1970s, the red-shouldered hawk was endangered in the state, having experienced a 65 to 74 percent drop in population the previous twenty years. By the year 2000, recovering bottomland hardwood forests again provide suitable habitats, and the species population is again stable. Lee describes the hawk's habitat, food, and nesting habits.
