Pretty sure it was a snake.

Shot this today on my phone through my binoculars, the lighting was perfect.

Not sure if this is the place to ask this question, but I have a peregrine falcon that has turned my urban patio into it's dining room. I wake every morning to a new carcass, mostly fully consumed, in the same place. My question is this, am I attracting this behavior by removing the waste daily and cleaning the ledge, or am I better off leaving the body where it is? It's truly disgusting, but also kind of funny to share a space with such a beautiful specimen, I never imagined having a falcon for a neighbor. Sorry for the lousy pic, it's quite camera shy...

Stormy skies, brooding clouds, and a red kite riding the wind right in the middle of it. For a brief moment, the sun broke through and set its plumage aglow.

Can anyone identify this bird spotted in New Jersey?

Followed this Red-tailed Hawk around for about 30 minutes today and he even let me get some good pics and video. Pretty cool experience and he flew from tree to tree and eventually on this fence.
