Today at Guilford Lake, I spotted a Red Shoulder constructing it's nest.
As I was taking it's picture, I saw another one sitting nearby.  As I 
begain shooting what now I know was the female, the male appeared in the 
viewfinder.  I thought wow, both in one shot. Well, it happened!! The male 
mounted the female to copulate.  I took 10-15 shots before he was done.  
What a once in a lifetime opportunity to see it but then to get a picture. 
What are the chances of that.  It was awesome.  I plan to monitor it over 
the next several weeks for progress on the nest, chicks etc.  I will let 
everyone know.  I will be attaching pics later.
