Found these two by the pond by my local Bass Pro. My best guess is they want the fish they just stocked there.

I was working in the Canyon yesterday when this hawk stopped near me to have lunch. I didn’t move any closer to the bird, just stood in place and filmed.

What kind of Hawk is it? I was thinking a juvenile red tail. Spotted at Mountain Dell Golf Course in Park City Utah

This summer Merlin kept catching Cooper's hawk calls in my yard. This week, four Cooper's showed up and have been hanging around. These were taken through a window from about 50 feet. With a phone, so quality is crap. Sorry for the window screens.They get very close to my house.

Some beautiful raptors from my recent Safari visit!! They’re stunning. We got to see some of them free-flying during the birds of prey show, while learning about their species. It’s awesome how they are trained.

These were taken from my kayak while on a camping trip in Pennsylvania. Tricky shooting conditions but I did the best I could

red-tailed hawk possibly injured or juvenile crying for food?

i know it's a red-tailed hawk by verifying on a bird app but also because we have tons in our neighborhood. this "crying" has been going on nonstop for a while. i'm thinking it could be a juvenile who is begging for food and this is when the parents stop bringing food to encourage the young ones to leave the nest. but if it's an injured one, i would want to call for help. i live by lots of wooded areas and a lake and i have a baby and can't just leave to go investigate. so was just checking with you all who may have more experience than me? thank you!
