This  RTHB nest is located ca. 10-12 feet above ground in a Post Oak tree.  The 
limb to which it is attatched is slope-ing downward.  The two chicks are 
approx. 7 days old.  Mom is feeding ca. every 20 minutes making 3 feeding 
cycles with each chick per feeding visit to the nest.
 
Fairly decent photos here:

A little off topic.  Here are shots taken of birds in Ruaha Natl. Park in 
Tanzania taken this past March.  GREAT birding spot!  First few pics are of 
family/lodging with the next hundred or so of the birds.
