Red-Tailed Hawks Nest on California Dome

Looks like the red-tailed hawk pair have one egg in the nest

Staff members at one of Balboa Park’s most popular museums are celebrating the arrival of two new tenants.

The colorful tiled California Dome is now home to the nest of two red-tailed hawks.

The pair has nested atop the San Diego Museum of Man and the female is brooding at least one egg according to the museum’s Facebook page. They even offer advice on the best viewing spot.

"You can see the nest from the ground if you stand in the southwest corner of the California Quadrangle in front of the San Diego Museum of Man, and look to the north, up at the dome."
