Great sijo and essay, Neil! As far as knowing which bird is male and which is female, the best way to learn is to observe, and you will only continue to thoroughly observe these hawks. Thank you for writing along the way.

Thanks James and I'm hoping to have some more updates in the coming weeks. Perhaps we'll get to see some nestlings.
