HEY, I have a little family of these nesting near my apartment complex-atop a cell phone tower- they been there off and on about 5 years now-the area is pocketed with small lakes and ponds so I guess its a good spot for them....

Yep . . . they do like the cell phone towers !! I luv to watch them !! There are quite a few around my area as well. Definitely one of my fave birds !!

They tend to be skittish around humans, don't they?
Great shot though!

very skittish !!! i snapped this one shot & it was off like a bolt of lightening !!! it did come back about an hour later but unfortunately i was not as well hidden as i thought. . . it spotted me and landed to far away for me to get any more shots

There was one down by where I used to live in Florida who wasn't scared of people at all. I think it was because he was so big and old that he just didn't care anymore.

But yeah, I couldn't get ANYWHERE close to any of the others.
