After tracking these red-tailed hawks for weeks, we’ve located their nest in a backyard near Jefferson State Community College. There are two babies in the nest and we should have a photo soon. Unfortunately, we found out late yesterday that the largest one in the family, perhaps the male, was shot and killed about three weeks ago by an ignorant man in the hood. Also unfortunately, a neighbor disposed of the carcass, so the evidence is gone to turn the moron in to authorities.
