Red Tail Hawk at Raptor-Cam
by Catherine Haug, MArch 14, 2012
Many of you may know that I spent my career-life in Portland, Oregon, a very environmentally-conscious city. While there, I joined the local Audubon Society chapter, and I continue to get their newsletters.
Five years ago, the Audubon Society and a local radio station (KGW) installed a raptor cam to spy on a nest in the middle of downtown Portland. What the cam captures is streamed live, online at kgw.com/lifestyle/raptor-cam. You can also follow this on the Raptor-Cam facebook page and on the raptor cam blog.
This cam has captured the pair of hawks and their 13 young hatchlings over the previous five years, and will continue until the nest is no longer used.
