Title: Hawk’s nest delays changing of billboard (Kansas)

They quickly realized that they might not be able to complete their job when they saw a 4-foot-long hawk’s nest in the billboard.

Its refreshing to see noone had to argue with this sign company to wait until nesting time is over!
 It reminds me of a situation in Toronto a few years back.  Here at our own Civic Centre in Scarborough it took a concerned CPF contributor/volunteer Ann Brokelman to get the city not to cut down a set of trees (about 5) one of which contained a Redtailed Hawks nest that was outside the centre, where theyd wanted to put some sort of new exit from the building. Ann spoke to councillors and brought them out to view the nest and the Redtails got a reprieve. Their trees were left alone and it was agreed that the work there would not be done, infact they voted to change the plan.
  This was where Ann's office is, she did this of her own accord and we applauded her. She asked the right questions and took the right actions to help "her" Redtailed Hawk family.
