Hope you don't have a small dog!

We have a nesting pair close by. They are cool to watch when hunting.

Your cat is too fat to be in any danger.

Very cool, a buddy of mine is a Falconer, lots of fun to go out with him when he hunts/flies them

kgoings · 07-18-2011, 07:45 PM

Very Cool!

CigarNut · 07-18-2011, 07:50 PM

Very cool Dave!

Very cool--surprising that he's so comfortable in the bird bath! We have a pair in our neighborhood, they generally stay up high unless they're devouring some unfortunate rodent they've trapped on the floor of our woods. Occasionally they'll swoop in low with a bird in their talons--impressive deep bass from the wings.

I love watching them get chased off by smaller birds, too--that always makes me chuckle. Huge raptor getting bested by some little sparrow.

It looks like an Accipiter (maybe a Coopers or Sharp-Shinned hawk). Red tails are burly hawks and have rusty colored tails. Accipiters eat other birds, mostly. Raptor sighting is a hobby of mine.

hotreds · 07-19-2011, 09:16 AM

These might actually be Cooper's Hawks. Do they fly around and squeal a lot? The Red Tails are fairly taciturn, the Copper's are noisy!

We have a couple of hawks that hang out around our place and a big hoot owl. I don't know the difference in em though, all hawks are forever in my mind a chicken hawk. LOL cause back in the day my grandpa had lots of chickens that they would let out in the yard to free range during the day and any hawk that was spotted was a chicken hawk and usually got a shotgun blast. No chickens now though and I enjoy watching them, and it's very cool to see the mockingbird run em slap off the place.

Very cool -- bunch of issues in the Boston area this summer with hawks attacking people because they wandered too close to a nest with chicks. Hawks ain't nothin' nice when they're pissed.

Ogre · 07-19-2011, 09:29 AM

That is so cool. They are vary graceful animals!!!

G G · 07-19-2011, 09:53 AM

I have to keep an eye on my chihuahua when they are around though.

Blak Smyth · 07-19-2011, 09:57 AM

Awesome!

OLS · 07-19-2011, 09:57 AM

Good call, definitely not a red-tailed...their red-tails are pretty distinct, lol.
I was thinking Sharp-Shinned as well, but I need to check Cooper's markings....
yep, I'd say Cooper's. But any hawk is cool.

Love Pictures Of Hawks, Dave!

We Have Several Large Ones That Fly Around The Golf Course Looking For Squirrels. No Idea What Kind They Are, But Much Larger Than Those Pictured.
