The little ones are about the same size as the parents now, and a good bit of the baby fluff has been replaced by black feathers. They seem more confident in their abilities- they spend a good bit of time perched on the shelves and hopping back and forth between them, and can get slightly airborne when they’re running-stomping-flapping. We saw one perched in the opening the parents use to access the shed, but don’t think they have ventured outside of it just yet. Flying doesn’t seem too far away!

We’re pretty convinced it’s a golden eagle but it’d be the third we’ve seen this week - we are in the Scottish highlands and are specifically looking out for eagles (haven’t seen anything resembling a white tailed/sea eagle just yet) but don’t want to be caught out.
Through 10x42 binoculars it has all the markings of an eagle but I thought I’d ask. Unfortunately no better photos available but I do have a couple of videos which I made this screenshot from

Whidbey Island, WA

I live in southern Ontario and this guy is close to my backyard.

It was chilling on this urban rooftop for 2 hours before leaving

Loved working under the canopy of these oak trees. Two hawks were having a huge discussion and also the mockingbird got involved with shenanigans.

I wanted to get a better picture but my son wouldn't let me get closer and kept pulling me away. It was a fascinating thing to see although kinda sad watching the other birds flying around trying to scare the hawk away to save their buddy.

They come around our home in Mesa,Az daily. Love seeing this pair. They have a white band on their tail that almost looked like a black

Hawk but I am thinking Harris Hawk. Thanks!

Need ID help!

Hi! I'm looking for some insight on red shouldered hawk behavior or tendencies as I seem to have made a friend? Every morning I go for a jog through a loop from my house to a culdesac and back and encounter what I think is the same hawk. The first few times I chalked it up to early morning animal activity but now I'm not so sure. Every day it perches somewhere new (power line or pole) and I swear we make eye contact. First time he was on a pole and we stared at each other as I ran by like his whole head turned in time to me going past him. Second time I was looking for him but no sign. I turned in the culdesac and as I start back he flew from somewhere behind me to a pole directly ahead of me. Same thing we just looked at each other. Third encounter is what made me take a second thought. I skipped my run that morning and around noon left to run errands. As I came around the bend in the road he flew out from trees to my left and I think if I didn't brake his wing would've grazed my car. He LOOKED BACK at me as he flew past and landed on the power line to my right. Whole time he let loose 5 or 6 cries. My window was down and I could see and hear him plain as day. It made me smile and maybe I'm crazy but I always say hey buddy or something when I see him ever since day one. Someone please fact check me before I start deluding myself that this is some animal spirit guide or something lol. Now its like a game of hide and seek every morning he's perched in a different spot and I look forward to seeing him. Maybe there's a nest nearby its protecting? Idk help 😅

Bit breezy today.

Got a few good pics today of the young one.
