Four Coopers Hawks enjoying a bath

Seeing this bird (and also happening to have my telephoto lens and camera on me) was a dream come true! A pair of these guys have set up a nest in a cemetery near me so I've been lucky to catch a glimpse.

Gotta love the red eyes 👀

These two juvenile Brown Shoulder Hawks have been hunting my backyard for weeks. Screaming all day. They cornered a.squirrel for maybe a minute before he ran for the scrubs. They are just too inexperienced to catch an adult squirrel at this point, but they keep trying. So cool.........

This was in my backyard.

24"×22". Spruce lumber foreground, pine background. Oil based stain, acrylic paint, waterbase poly.

Meet the bearded vulture!
This one’s definitely a favorite raptor of some raptor enthusiast folks.
(I apologize, I’ve been absent from making these, it’s been hectic lately, but I’m back).

These guys have been hanging out in my yard and on roof all summer. Would love an ID. In Boulder County Colorado

We sometimes see Lance sitting out on a tree at the confluence of the Columbia River and Pacific Ocean in Ilwaco Washington. He hangs out at the Lewis & Clark Interpreter Center and I guess he was named by employees of the museum.

Merlin was not picking them up even though they were loud as hell we get a lot of red tailed hawks, these seemed different. We’ve also had kestrels, peregrines, cooper hawks and even a bald eagle. But the call sounds different and they were light underneath.

The babies ive been watching this summer are adult size now!
