Thank you! This was just inside the foothills south west of Sedalia, probably at about 6,600' elevation. I'd been watching this tree for several years waiting for the right conditions to give me the shot I'd seen in my minds eye.
I am sure I have driven by this tree although I haven't been up the road in some time. Your patience has been rewarded.
I have been driving past a tree that has had a pair of Red Tail Hawks raising their young for the last five years. Late last year I finally acquired the 400mm to 800mm angle of view needed for proper shooting. This winter, one of the wind storms blew the nest out of the tree (as you know, winds in the foothills sometimes reach 90 mph). Now I have the lense, but now I have to hunt for a new subject.
