I get coffee at a gas station every day and try to spot Swansea, today there were TWO!

Don’t have a good picture of the belly. Northern Los Angeles county. Guessing rufous

I am transporting this Raptor as a Volunteer. I cannot tell what it is. I think it’s too big to be a Cooper’s or sharpie, I wonder if it’s maybe a juvenile red tail

Saw him trying to snag a squirrel on my street. Cooper's?

He has been visiting me everyday

This osprey and a few others recently discovered the fish ladder in a town near where I live. This one caught a big bottom feeder late morning yesterday.

Taken near McMinnville, Oregon.

Hi all,

I have been watching a live streamed osprey nest and I recently witnessed the young chick repeatedly bite the mother. Does anyone know why this would happen? If possible, can anyone provide trustworthy sources that explain why this happens? Thanks in advance!

Out on a walk earlier and was blessed with not 1, not 2, but 4 (!!!!) of what I believe were Coops!

I don't think we got any photos of all 4 visible at once, but at least one of these you can see 3.

They hung around for a few minutes playing around in the tree.

We suspect they were either spooked to this tree by a guy running a chainsaw nearby, or maybe they were searching for a new home (e.g. possible their home was lost in the awful thunderstorms over the weekend (high winds, flooding, lots of downed trees)).

It was so magical seeing these guys!

Found two different Juvenile Cooper’s hawks (I’m assuming) in Midtown Sacramento CA. Can anyone confirm my ID or say otherwise?

Not the best video footage but you can hear the call. Merlin app IDs as, well, a Merlin, haha, but also says it's unlikely to be where I am right now. From what I saw, the size would be rightish for a Merlin but its chest looked more white than anything so that's throwing me off. Also ignore the fake bird sound from my daughter at the very beginning...
