A red-tailed hawk has made herself a unique place to call home: atop a 150-foot camera pole in Irving, Texas.

Rochelle the hawk is named after the street, Rochelle Boulevard, where, for the past decade, she has maintained a nest—right under a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) camera on top of a pole. There, she lays eggs, tends to her chicks, and, at times, looks into the camera innocently, leaving the employees pleasantly amused.
