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.

This is how far away from the nest I am shooting from, about 150 yards. You can hardly see the hawks in the nest with your naked eye.
