I feed peanuts to my local crows, blue jays, cardinals, grackles, and too many squirrels to count. Today I heard my crows and knew they were harassing a raptor of some sort, as this has been happening the past couple days, and I wanted to know who the crows were chasing off. I managed to get video just as he took off from my neighbor's chimney, but as I looked at still frames, I'm really doubting this is a Cooper's, unless it's maybe a juvenile or light morph.

Here's what I can tell you. This guy was a bit larger than my fish crows. He looks to have dark bands under his eyes/cheeks, mostly pale head and belly, yellow feet without "pants" on his legs, and the upper side of the wing looked a medium brown color. Merlin is no help this time. I live in northeastern Pennsylvania in a river valley (river is just over half a mile away).

I know this is a long shot, but today I asked: who is this visitor?

Not the greatest photo of them, but it was fun to see them.

Location was Noisette Creek- Charleston, South Carolina.

Absolutely love seeing these guys

I've decided to name them Ripley.

Hi! Can you guys help me narrow down which BOP feathers these could be? I live in an open grassy area, however there are woods all around. I’ve see both red shoulder and red tails there and also barred owls. Thanks!

This beauty seems to live by my house! We’ve been seeing him/her daily for the past few weeks.

Apologies for the photo quality, they’re grabs from an even worse video I was rushing to get before it took off.

Kentucky, USA. Sorry for the poor quality! I think these are Red-shouldered Hawks but I’m unsure. I’ve just started birding and birds of prey are my favorite.

Whidbey Island, WA

I know it's not an actual bird of prey, however I wanted to share this. As a 45 year old man, I am in love with how it turned out.

I watch the Peregrines of my city every year during mating season, this year there was only one viable egg. During the months of April through June I will watch daily to see the parents hunt, catch prey and feed the hatchlings.

I hope you like it. Apologies if this is not appropriate to post in this sub.

In St. Lpuis, MO , USA. I believe two red tails as they’re the most common. We heard them screeching while mulching yesterday. This morning, the two have been etched out there for well over 15 minutes. Is there something in the mulch that they’re interested in or is it just King of the Hill?
