On way to tiny parking lot, on R you may see this view of Mt. Olivet Cemetery across Bladensburg Rd |
If you're lucky you'll see this distant view from Azalea Rd on way to nest (telephoto shot) |
U.S. Capitol & part of Mt. Olivet cemetery, statue & flag (shot from Azalea Rd) |
If see sign to turn for "Mt. Hamilton" (pkg) just pass it, although you CAN get to place you want to be by going this way. |
Single solar panel on your left on way to tiny parking area near nest |
Road's now one-way, park when see this sign at tiny parking area. If miss it, circle back to it (3 min. drive, keep turning L) |
Another sign at tiny parking area. Park now & walk short way down road. |
After a minute or less you'll see this sign - keep walking - slowly! |
No parking this side sign - look to left around here, way up |
Before you get to brown "No Parking this Side" sign on left, look to your left, way up. Here's nest with 70 mm lens. |
200 mm, from street - no nest in this shot, but can see camera & infrared box above it. (Where's Liberty??!) |
Another shot of nest tree from road (around 200mm, but CAN see with eyes only from ground) |
