I’ve been observing a Bald Eagle nest in far southeast Dallas County for several weeks now. The nest is built in the arm of a transmission tower overlooking a wonderful wetland habitat.
In an odd juxtaposition there is also a Red-tailed Hawk’s nest in the trees just below the eagle’s nest. Today is the first time I have been able to verify that the hawk’s nest is active. These pictures show a female Red-tailed Hawk busy incubating her clutch of eggs.
