| 1946 | Summer | 3 so large young, June 2, Washington Co., Longley; May 13, 3 young, Hennepin Co., Eldeen and Don Jacobs. The fact that as many nests of this bird as of the red-tailed hawk have been found in the last six years may be explained by the concentration of observers in the southeast and central part of the state where the red-shoulder is most common. The first nest of this species was found in 1934. | ||
