Good news from Terri Jacobsen who has been documenting Red-shouldered Hawks in the Little Falls Branch Stream Valley Park this year. The successful fledging of six young Red-shouldered Hawks from two nests in LFBSVP in the summer of 2020, suggests that the Little Falls watershed offers high quality riparian forest habitat for this species and others that live and reproduce there.
