    Massachusetts - Rare Broad-winged Hawk??

    I spotted this bird while using my drone in the greater Boston area Not quite sure what species of Hawk it is. Apparently, Broad-winged Hawks migrate through this area towards the end of April... Any help in identifying this bird would be greatly appreciated

    Cooper’s Hawk

    This hawk landed on my deck while I was in the house. I took a shot through the patio window. Luckily he didn’t see me moving around to get the background and angle I wanted. Hope you enjoy the image.

    Colorado (sharp-shinned?) hawk with black and white breast

    This bird looks like a sharp-shinned hawk, but it's breast is mostly black, with some white specks. This image was taken in Denver, and it has been very cold for several days. Sorry for blurry image.

    hawk hanging out and calling on our roof. Do you know what kind it is?

    It sounds like a red shouldered hawk based off the audio I looked up online but it has a white chest with brown spots and looks very much like, if not the same one, as the last hawk video I just posted which I assumed to be a red-tailed hawk

    hawk scavenging then flies away beautiful..but what kind is it? Red-tailed is my guess

    I thought it was a red-tailed hawk but when his/hers wings spread I saw what looks like an orange patch on each wing and all the pictures I looked at online for red-tailed hawks didn't have that

    Help for identification. England border.

    Can someone help with this please? We though a juv kestrel but the feathers were different and tried using a bird app but just comes up as falcon? So any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    NE of Nagano, Japan - Raptor ID

    A couple shots of raptors over the mountain foothills. 1. Mountain Hawk Eagle? 2. Gray Faced Buzzard? 3. I'm not sure. Not these are the same birds (color difference due to lighting) 4. No idea. Merlin thinks oriental honey buzzard?

    Northern Goshawk

    Local female Goshawk watching me as I checked her nest last Summer (under licence). She never alarm called or made a fuss which is unusual for this species. The nest itself was eye level to a footpath just metres away so her silence helped in not drawing attention to her three chicks which all...
