    Cooper's Hawk overwintering in Alberta, Canada

    I just had an adult male Cooper's Hawk perching in my back yard. Unfortunately I was not fast enough to get the camera. I live in the country about 50kms south of Edmonton, Alberta. Does anyone know how common it is for these to stay over winter? We've had a pretty cold winter with lots of snow...

    Northern Goshawk? Alberta, Canada.

    This is a new one for me. I saw a large raptor taking off from a branch in the trees, the size of a Swainson's hawk or even a red-tail, but with more rounded and pointed wings and longer tail. I could only see the silhouette against the bright sky. I stuck around in the area for a while. I heard...

    Help with ID, Alberta, Canada

    I need help with this raptor. My guess would be the dark morph of rough-legged hawk. That being said, it seemed too large. At first, seeing it from far away, I though it was a turkey vulture. Once I looked at it through the lens it became obvious that it was not.

    Snowy owls fighting

    Tonight I observed two female Snowy owls, both injured and located only a couple of kilometers apart from each other. How common is it that they fight over territory, and how serious can it get? The one owl is injured on the head, does not seem to be that bad, but the other have a pretty...

    My daughter took these shots today with her little point and shoot camera. I have not seen this one at the bird feeder before, and he's eating from the suit.

    Hi guys, On the weekend I visited a lake in western Alberta and got this picture of which I first thought was a juvenile Spotted Sandpiper.

    Owl ID help please, Alberta, Canada

    Last weekend I captured a few shots of owls. The first one out hunting over a marsh (dried out lake), slightly smaller in size than a redtail hawk. I only got flight shots and thought this was a Short-Eared owl. The second encounter was in a wooded area (close to the previous mentioned...
