Welcome to the KJRH "Hawks' Nest" Page. We're proud that our tower has become home to a pair of red-tailed hawks, one of Oklahoma's native species of raptor. Luckily, they've built a nest right where everyone can watch! We had a contest to name them, and our readers voted for "Kay and Jay Red Hawk." Since that name incorporates our call letters -- KJRH -- we couldn't be prouder! Later their offspring, "Thunder," joined the family, and has since moved on to establish her own territory.
on Sunday, March 8 Kay laid an egg in the nest, beginning a second year of non-stop nest watching by our dedicated forumers from around the country! Already, Jay has taken some turns at brooding while giving Kay a chance to hunt. We don't know yet if she will lay additional eggs; Redtailed hawks often lay two or three eggs per season. This year, nesting activity began early in January as Kay and Jay began preparations for another brood. Click the links on the right to learn much more!
This is a excellent cam,, very close up,, of this nest!
