I’ve been following a pair of Bald Eagles near Seagoville, Texas who are nesting on a transmission tower. Transmission towers can provide an excellent nesting platform for our larger birds, and in fact it is not just Bald Eagles who will make use of these structures. These pictures are of a Red-tailed Hawk who is attending its nest. Its hard to be certain from these pictures, but this hawk appears to be doing maintenance on its nest, or feeding on some prey, or preening, or maybe all three.
