As I mentioned on Monday, the pond at Mead Memorial Park is back in operation after some much needed dredging and maintenance. While the pond looks great, there are some inhabitants that were displaced by the work that have still not returned……Red Tailed Hawks like the one in the photo above. I cant wait until they are back in their new home.

I did see one circling the park in the distance over the weekend so I hope that come breeding season they return to the park. There were those who did not like having them in the park. Why? This spring there was a mating pair and their 3 chicks……they made a lot of noise. Noise that people actually complained about.

I have a feeling however that the instincts of the hawks will return them to the park and that the local residence will have something to complain about again this spring.
