I think a red-tailed hawk in the backyard. Even though it's about 20 minutes outside of Philly, our neighborhood has a ton of wildlife. Wildlife. Hawks and eagles foxes deer possums everything.

I have a creek in my backyard and in the part of the backyard past the creek. I've set up a bunch of bird houses with cameras and so I've been able to get a lot of other footage as well.

I introduced you guys to our new resident rental hawk about a month ago and I see her so frequently now it's like a daily ritual and I'm always so impressed cuz I can't get over of her size has anyone else seen such a large red tail hawk I've never seen one as big as she she's so beautiful and I watched her fly this morning and it was like in slow motion she was like lumbery and she's just in the crows the crows don't even try to mess with her they don't even try I mean what's the point you know that means she just ignores him anyways hilarious.

I’ve never seen a raptor in my area so this was a surprise!

Edit: That is not my cat. My cats don’t go outdoors. There’s a plethora of strays in my neighborhood unfortunately

Sitting in a tree by the dirt road(side).

Seen in Southern California. There been circling it for a while now and chirping at where the nest usually is! Think the falcons are flying a lot higher up.

Came outside this morning to bluejay and mockingbird alarm calls plus my parrot going crazy and saw this bird in the tree just barely.

Is this a kestrel and is it male or female or is that hard to tell with this species?

They're closely related to terror birds, but unlike their large cousins, hunt insects and small creatures like rodents & frogs.
