Nice find Dan. The one thing that I have never seen before is the chicks.

Yeah, no kidding. That's something you don't see every day.

Great shots, I have been following our local red tailed hawk as well. Very fun to watch.

Great shots, I only wish I could get that close to the nests around here.

Those chicks don't exactly have squidgy little baby feet, do they?

I think these are actually Cooper Hawks. Here is mom yesterday, checking me out.



and even the chicks are starting to feel more comfortable with my presence:
