Andy, if they're Sharp-shinned or Cooper's Hawks, be extra careful because
these two species have been known to attack people who've gotten too close
to the nest. Take your time getting close to them, talk quietly and act
quietly, but don't try to hide. Humans are so lousy at hiding, and the
birds know their territory so well, that any attempt at hiding will be met
with suspicion. Also, the birds' 'flight distance' may vary though the
season. I'm watching a Cooper's Hawk nest nearby and right now they're not
nearly as tolerant of me as they were last June when the chicks were about
to fledge.
