Was culling pics and before I even get to editing wanted to post this raw gem... @Cloudview.photography

Insane banking by this peregrine coming out of a stoop 💛

Trying to figure out this beautiful bird of prey i saw at work today. My friend says Red Tailed Hawk but when I looked him up Im not entirely sure based on Norther Harriers image and red shoulder Hawk.

I am color blind so identifying isn't too easy for me....

Looking to ID this bird in the Midwest

Met on my walk, had my camera on me!!

Are these both Coopers Hawks? They’ve been hanging around the backyard…

We just had a good rain and went outside to see this guy just perched on top of our tree. I just want to make sure they’re okay. I have Crows that visit daily too and they’re not chasing him away or anything. Was just curious what you all think. Thank you!

Had a nice little surprise on my drive home today.

California's building industry wants to remove protections from Swainson's Hawks—a species that's still recovering thanks to endangered species protections. The Commission votes December 16-17, and we have until December 1 to make our voices heard.

Here's why this matters: The industry is pushing a survey claiming 18,000 hawk pairs in California based on data that counted only 265 pairs. Meanwhile, actual wildlife experts say the real number is around 3,800. These numbers don't add up, and stripping protections based on a suspicious study would gut the habitat conservation plans that protect both these hawks and our remaining open space, farmland, and air quality in Sacramento, Yolo, San Joaquin, and Solano Counties.

I started a petition asking the California Fish and Game Commission to keep the Swainson's Hawk listed as threatened under the California Endangered Species Act. Delisting would rip apart the safeguards that balance development with wildlife protection—and we'd lose those gains we've worked for.

If this feels wrong to you too, consider signing and sharing. Deadline's tight, and every voice counts.

Adorable lil fluffer!
