Lucky enough to find this pair of red shouldered hawks starting the nest building process in Bayou Segnette State Park last week. They used this favorite snag for surveying their territory as well as a platform for mating.

Nice capture odf these two. I don't have a great image with a single hawk. You have two. Way to go.

Neat to get the pair together. The detail shows well in the larger image. Nice work.

Love seeing the pair in the same image and the environmental elements work well.
