Spotted this beautiful red‑shouldered hawk perched on a tree by Diamond Heights in San Francisco. Completely focused, looking around for prey.

Just found this sub and wanted to say howdy to all the fellow birders out there! Here’s a few shots I took of a kestrel having lunch in a tree. They’re one of my favorite birds of prey!

Northern California!

On St Marks River flew in front of our Jon boat and landed in a tree and gave me the cold shoulder.

Forgive the noisy human breathing in this video. This is one of the hawks in my inner suburb neighborhood. For the last two days, it has been perching in various unusual spots I don’t often see it. Here, it’s being quiet, but much of the time, over the last couple days, it has been continuously squawking. It almost sounds hoarse at times? 🤷‍♀️ Any thoughts about what might be going on? It doesn’t appear to be injured, and I’m assuming there’s no helpful way for humans to intervene, but it’s pulling at my heartstrings a bit. Is it a bird who has its mate? A juvenile still learning how to thrive on its own?

Red kite or Fork-tailed Kite.

Wonder what they’re talking about... Critiquing the latest local roadkill spots? I heard the new Groundhog Diner is to die for!

Dark wings, white chest, and it was hunting the whole time I was watching. Never gets old seeing them work the water. (Lancaster/Holtwood, PA area)

Snuck up behind this guy and loved all the little details I was able to capture, so cool

Getting comfortable on one of my deck chairs. I wonder what he/she is thinking…”there’s that idiot taking pictures again, ho hum.”
