Red Tailed Hawk nest.

I spotted this nest when we were out for a walk the other day ( actually the Hike for Hospice ) and I went back today to try and figure out who was at home. Check it out - I think it's a Red Tailed Hawk.

You can just see its beak and a bit of colour. The nest is situated quite high in a tree but fortunately beside a ravine so I am almost level with the nest - hopefully I'll be able to get some more photos before the new foliage completely hides the nest from view.

  1. Rumour is that it's a Coopers Hawk - I haven't seen the male yet though - the female hasn't left her clutch of eggs yet either to properly identify her.
