Red shouldered hawk

I scoped out the second birds' nest at B's this morning. Wanted to get a baseline shot as it is still growing.

It was empty. Later one of its makers obligingly flew into a nearby tree.

Nice squacky red shouldered hawk.

It will be nice to have shots from both species this year.

The tree is farther away than the one in my valley.

If I set up my tripod and put the prime lens on, I should be able to grab a decent picture.

We shall see.
