Fish hawks wage territorial battles over nesting sites
Gene deRocha notes that at Wardwell Farm fish hawks fiercely defend nests and refuse to live near each other. He tried placing a pole and wheel 500 to 1000 feet from an existing nest, but upon return the older pair drives away newcomers in “battle royal.” He believes wildlife possess a real sense of ownership and are harmed by neighboring property.
