I am photographed a pair of Red-Tailed Hawks last spring.
I watched them all year soaring over the lake. They mated and started sitting on the nest in March.
I took my first trip to the nest on April 1, 2008. One chick was hatched.
I took almost 4000 shots of the nesting, Mom, Dad and Baby and never disturbed them.
The baby left the nest for good in late June.
It was an incredible experience to watch the little one grow to such a beautiful raptor.

4/2/2008 - Today there was a lot of activity around the nest. The male and female were switching off sitting on the egg(s) quite often. Then the other would leave for a while and then come back to sit on the branches just off the nest.
As it turned out there was another RT hawk around the area and there was a brief chase and a lot of noise.. but everything turned out okay.
