Yes most Hawks do come back to the exact same nest every year instead of making a new nest elsewhere.

Although some Hawks may decide to make a new nest in another area if there nest is degrading or they feel like there might be a threat to them or their baby hawks then the hawk may create a new nest to keep themselves and their baby hawks safe.

But most hawks do come back to the same exact nest they made and keep it for years until they decide to move on to a new location or nest.

Most hawks also mate with one hawk for life and do prefer their current nest and will only move to a new hawk nest if they deem it's needed.
