Hey everyone,
I'm in my first year of a PhD program at FIU. My proposed research will be comparing population dynamics of Red-shouldered Hawks on either side of the Urban Development Boundary, looking at things like chicks fledged and exposure to anticoagulant rodenticides.
If anyone knows where I can find nests anywhere in Miami-Dade County, I'd greatly appreciate the tips. Thanks!
(Also keep in mind that it's the last year of Florida's Breeding Bird Atlas, so if you know of nests of any species, definitely report them!)

Check with Marilyn Griffiths at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. There have been nesting Red-shouldered hawks there in the past. She should know if there are any currently nesting.
2 adults raised 3 chicks successfully in my front mahogany tree. nest has been there for years. babies are currently using my roof as their home base. there are photos on facebook
