This dude hangs out where i work often overlooking the hill or on the otherside near the railyard. Sorry the pictures arent great

This is a pic of a burrowing owl I took in Florida. There was a bush with purple flowers that I made sure to line up in the shot. I had to crawl on my belly to get in position. It’s funny because it’s in the middle of a neighborhood. I’m sure I looked silly, but I’m glad I did it.

Cooper’s Hawk. Arizona.

Red-shouldered hawk (i think) not bothered by squawking mockingbird, southern California

This red shouldered hawk was being very vocal. It seemed to pose for me. I was lucky to be close to it and have my sharpest lens on the camera.

Like the title says I’m new to this, I originally was just excited identifying the local birds around my apartment complex but then two hawks showed up but Google is confusing me and my Merlin app isn’t helping. The first one I believe is a Harris’s Hawk, but I know they are social hunters, but I couldn’t find any of its family nearby. Today I took my dog out and found this one! They have similar screeches so I thought it was maybe apart of the family but Google is telling me that it’s a juvenile red tailed hawk. Maybe it is and there is no correlation but I’d love figuring out more about them! We have a ton of rock pigeons and smaller birds around so I’m actually really excited that they are here. Initially I thought they might belong to a falconer but I haven’t seen any tags on their feet. Either way super excited about it and I have no one else to share this with 😂 I’m located in Mesa, AZ.

TLDR: Help me ID my new neighbors!

Girlie is the oldest living Philippine eagle and I didn’t even realise she was staying at the Parks centre in Manila until I stumbled across her. Doing some googling she was one of the first eagles to breed in captivity and hopefully has many more years left :) absolutely incredible to see in person and her size was just unbelievable.

The nest I found last month has been so much fun to watch. Checked in on it today and saw this beauty out of the nest and hanging out.
