Believe it or not there's a red-shouldered hawk in this picture
 

I have such awful luck with wildlife pics. This guy looked at me for 2
minutes without moving a feather. I calmly got up, went into the house,
grabbed my camera, and as soon as I re-emerged he bailed out on me!

What a poor sport.

I'd believe you if you said there was a pig's nest in it.

Give us a clue where to look ...

I saw it. We have a young red-shouldered hawk in our backyard, raised
in a tall pine tree. It is very camouflaged, spotted and barely
invisible when still. The parents nearly cleaned out the frogs in the
pond and most of the snakes. The baby hawk has been flying for two
weeks, yet I see the parents are still feeding it although less and
less.

I saw it at once.
His feathers are pointing down on the right side near bottom. He is
hidden behind the tree limb a few inches from pats name and up about
an inch maybe more depending on your monitor.

Right - I THINK I can see it :-)

There's what could be a wing in that place but nothing else ... thanks
anyway :-)
