red tailed hawks nesting

Dawson neighbor David Eliot has spotted a pair of hawks (maybe Red tailed, actual photo hopefully coming to replace the place holder above) starting to nest on El Paso. The parents feed their chicks primarily rodents, so it’s very important that we do not use rat poison in order to avoid poisoning the chicks through their food. It would be a shame to lose these new residents in the neighborhood, and, since they eat rats, we can eradicate unwanted rats using nature’s food chain.
