He seems to approve.

They're creatures of habit, if he finds enough of what he's looking for he will return often. Also he might enhance signals somehow. It could happen.

Yeah, I get a good share of hawks, mainly Cooper’s hawks, but also Red-shouldered and Red-tailed.
-
Nice pic, lots of hawks around here, Cooper's and red-tailed, don't recall ever
seeing a red-shouldered hawk, thanks for sharing.
-
Thanks Pinto
According to the map, red-shouldered should be present up your way also.
I’m just waiting to spot my Pileated Woodpecker which i can hear in my land land behind me and see his pecked-out-holes.

In related bird news... The evil heron was back this morning, fortunately in the pond without any fish. It flew off when I opened the door. I'll need to check the other pond to see if it stole the fish.

I'm not so rough on herons, in the past 15 years they've made a major return to the local river backwaters. Before that it was one or two in a decade.
When I was a boy it was open season on any kind of raptor. If you saw them you shot them, period. The local barn owl population has never recovered from that slaughter and the hard winters of the mid-70's. Those winters wiped out the quail and grouse population to boot.
I still like to watch hawks and buzzards ride the thermals. The shale and sandstone bluffs here make it a near daily event.
J.C., do your kids know what you did to their swing set.

Yes Pigmeat, they outgrew it years ago. ;)

A buried swingset would likely make for a dandy groundplane, but grandkids might not see any benefit in that unless they're nerdy too.

I'm told on high authority that bird shit contains lots of electrically-conductive materials, so, yeah...
