RED TAIL HAWK ON THE STCC CAMPUS

While STCC is an urban college situated close to downtown Springfield, Massachusetts, the historic campus consists of 55 acres surrounded by a cast iron fence.  Many birds and animals live and visit the campus. Red tail hawks nest here and catch squirrels, helping to maintain a balance of nature.  Pictures of a red tail hawk captured on the central campus green today are shown below.
