	In working on the Breeding Bird Atlas in Stevens Creek County Park
here in the Bay Area, I have found a pair of Red-Shouldered Hawks. I have not
seen this species of bird in the park before, although they have been seen in
other areas. Experts out here have indicated that this species is undergoing a
population and range expansion out here in the West. I wonder if a similar
expansion is occurring in the eastern population? Any comments from the eastern
birders?

Looking and listing,
Mike
