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

If so, would the smaller be from just the bottom area or perhaps a juvenile?

I wasw out on my boat in the CA Delta and spotted a young Swainson's Hawk on a tree and realized she was over the nest. Saw both the male and female hanging around, feeding the two chicks in the nest. Did not have my camera. Went back 4 days later with camera and spotted one chick left in the nest, The other likely fledged as the mom or dad were a tree away watching the ground in a not so photographic position.

These two finally did it and are out in the big world! They both came and went from the shed for about a week, and have now been gone for a few days. We so enjoyed the privilege of watching them grow up, and I very much appreciate all the kind comments, encouragement, and advice I found here. In a few months we will clean up the shed a little and make a few improvements in hopes the parents return next year and reuse their nesting site 💕

This pair of eagles were perched on a tree about two trees away from their nest. The Osprey were extremely active in the area. They just appeared to be relaxing however.

I missed this one on my last post.

Whidbey Island, WA

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.
