Have you heard about the Red-shouldered Hawks that have made a home on Westminster College's campus in New Wilmington? These protected raptors have chosen to nest in a grand old tree just outside a residence hall, causing a compromise on campus in preparing for an outdoor commencement. This episode delves deeper into why we should care about these birds and the importance of being good neighbors.

Our team of students who've become birders over the semester in a cluster course called BirdTik shares their experiences and insights on the Red-shouldered Hawks. We discuss the unique characteristics of these birds, including their distinctive vocalizations, hunting strategies, and monogamous behavior.

As we learn more about these fascinating creatures, we also explore the significance of protecting wildlife on campus and beyond. Join us for an engaging discussion on appreciating and safeguarding the Red-shouldered Hawks and other wildlife in our communities. Take a break from studying and tune in to this episode of Hawk Talk at Westminster College.
