    Red-tailed Hawk in southern Colorado

    Saw this juvenile red-tailed hawk near Poncha Springs in the southern end of the Rockies in Colorado. There were quite a few red-tails and other hawks in the area when we were there near the beginning of November.

    Identify Hawk in Vermont, USA

    Does this look like the work of a hawk?

    In our area, we have a significant number of hawks. While our pigeon cage was being cleaned last night, one of the pigeons that had never been outside was accidentally let out.

    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

    Help identifying bird of prey - Portsmouth, UK.

    Raptor riding a thermal really high up. I have zoomed and enhanced as much as possible to extract some detail. My mind tells me goshawk or perhaps peregrine but the wings and tail seem to broad? Thanks for the help, Jose

    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?

    Tokyo, Japan Hawk
