Red-tailed Hawk [Buteo jamaicensis] chicks in nest with attentive adult, holding pine needle sprig [Most accipiters bring fresh green leaves or conifer needle clusters to the nest .... the vegetation may provide concealment from above, may serve as a natural coolant, or may reduce odors and fungal growths. Conifer needles contain aromatic chemicals, called terpenes, that may repel insects and prevent a fungal disease; Raton Pass, Colorado
