	The Canadian Peregrine Foundation - Species Portrait - Red-shouldered Hawk
		The habitat niche of the red-shouldered hawk is large deciduous or mixed forests, specifically bottomland forests (swamps, floodplains) or upland forests with nearby wetlands or streams.
		The red-shouldered hawk is a sensitive forest species in that it nests in large tracts of mature forest with home ranges in the order of 250 hectares per breeding pair.
		In southern Ontario, red-shouldered hawks are back on nesting grounds by mid-March and are often seen performing flight displays, rising in wide spirals and then diving over the forest while calling vigorously with their incessant repeated ‘keeyr’ call, reminiscent of a ring-billed gull.
