Spotted this beautiful GHO about 100 yards from an active red-tailed hawk nest this morning. Best I can tell the hawk eggs are still being incubated. But with this owl nearby, it will have the hawk parents on high alert for sure! I have been following this pair of hawks for few years now and was excited to see them finally build a nest. We'll see what course nature takes. Near Florence, Arizona. Gear: Canon R5 with RF100-500mm zoom.
