Spring is approaching, and the radio tower at work is still up, so I thought maybe we’d be getting a bonus year of The Hawk Channel. Alas, last weekend The Powers That Be (TPTB) took down the large metal platform (about halfway up the 250-foot tower) that the hawks had been nesting on. 
I think they were trying to discourage nesting activity so that they don’t run into trouble later this spring when they get around to finally taking down the tower.
Problem is, the hawks really like that tower.
They’ve managed to wedge themselves behind one of the pieces of gear mounted on the tower — hardly as lavish a pad as the old place, but it’s still a great location location location.
Sadly, this will probably only push TPTB to get that tower down pronto. The hawks will probably find a new place to nest in the tall trees nearby, but it’ll take a couple years before the nest successfully produces chicks — first year nests usually fail, from what I’ve read.
