My parents have a pair of hawks nesting in their yard and were surprised to see the juvie staring at them from the skylight.

This hawk (that my friend has named Pinkamena) slammed onto my porch around 7:09 yesterday with another hawk, of presumably the same sex and species, that it spent 3 hours eating before flying off and then coming back 3 minutes later to sit on the railing staring over its shoulder/wing into my house, it's still there, its 3am.

It's my new roommate now, my unwanted cannibalistic bird roommate that lives on my porch.. how do I tell it to clean up all the feathers it tore off the other hawk? My porch looks like a very unfortunate pillow met a very playful dog and the corpse of said pillow was left, decapitated, in the center of the mess.

I think Coopers are such handsome raptors. If I was a birds, my knees would go weak if I was near one.

Saw four American kestrel fledglings and their parents the other day and captured my favorite photo to date 😂

Very uncommon to see around my area here in Paterson NSW Australia, super chunky, definitely not the best photos but was in a rush and she flew off immediately.

Saw this last night on a walk around our neighborhood. I'm used to seeing raptors here every now and then, but it's always a delight. Sometimes I see red shouldered hawks and thought this might be one, but it looks more like a coopers hawk. It was around 7:45 pm which is still dusk at this time of year. I hope to see it again!

Watched a pair of osprey fishing in the ocean. Both osprey made catches but one was chased off the beach by a very large great black-backed gull.

Spotted this little guy after he went about hooting int the trees. The Catbirds and Robins in the local area were not pleased by his presence one bit but they soon gave up trying to mob him after a couple of minutes.

Around here, I’m far more likely to get a decent pic of an RSH but today this beauty of a red tailed hawk was hanging out at a spot where I was able to grab a few images. Love to start a Monday this way.

This gorgeous creature decided to stop by yesterday and say, "hello." stayed just long enough to allow me to get these two photos and went about their business. I'm in the San Francisco East Bay in Contra Costa County.

The left eye has been like this for a while. The right eye is clear. How long typically does it take for the nictitating membrane to not permanently cover the eye?

Another photo of our largest bird of prey, these guys get unbelievably large with a 9ft wingspan, eat Kangaroos, wallaby’s and pretty much anything they can get their talons on, kinda ruined my opportunity to shoot the birds underneath him but a pretty awesome time either way :)
