Outdoor Wednesday



We spotted this huge nest in a neighbor's tree and went home and got our camera with the zoom lens so we could get a closer picture. The lady that owned the home passed away and it is currently up for sale. Her daughter had a tree trimming company to come out and trim the huge trees around her driveway and all of a sudden they stopped and left. We haven't seen them since. One day, Hubby and I were walking and he spotted the huge nest. At first he thought it was a falcon, but now he thinks that it is a hawk. Does anyone know? This particular one looks like a baby, but we're not quite sure. Please visit Susan over at A Southern Daydreamer for more outdoor pics.

  2. What a nest! Very impressive, must be a hawk. Beautiful tree to, it's too bad there are not owners to enjoy it.

  3. Great shots! It looks like it may be a young red tailed hawk. So glad they did not harm the nest when they started trimming the trees.

  4. Looks like a hawk to me.
    Are those little beaks to the left of the picture (to the right of the hawk's feet)?

  8. I would have to get out my bird guide book to be sure, but you can probably tell which by the beak and the iris color. Whichever, it is a fabulous find. It looks so regal posing atop the nest!

  10. Great pictures..I think it looks like a hawk to me. We have lots of them in my neck of the woods.Here it is illegal for the tree trimmers to disturb a nest like that, so that's why they probably left.
