Birding since 2006!
While out in a marshy area just west of Ottawa I was treated to an aerial battle between two hawks. The smaller one kept mobbing the larger one. I think I have an accipiter and a buteo, but they were both backlit and I'm not sure what species they are. They smaller one was quite vocal, making a rapid, high-pitched cry that sounded like eck-eck-eck-eck. The larger one was silent.
Can anyone positively ID these combatants through the limited detail visible in these silhouette photos?
Thanks!
