Saw this guy flying with a fish. and managed to get a decent shot… I left right after cause I didn’t wanna stress him out and make him lose his lunch. The head bobble sent me 🤣

Was taking pic of the hawk then the crow photobombed. Hawk wasn't even phased while the crow was being dramatic. Then they took to the sky to resume their battle.

I think the one is a young Bald Eagle. They were both on their "fishing rocks" on the Shenandoah River south of Charles Town, WV.

It was really strange because there is zero blood and it is a mostly enclosed back door area. After a bit of searching I found the culprit. I left the 1/2 rabbit there and it was gone in the morning

I’ve taken a photo of this bird 14 times…well…it’s probably the same bird. She was calling to another and the other came flying up…I adore hawks. Growing up in Georgia I have seen many over the years

The blue jay was mimicking. The Pileated was just singing away. And this absolute unit of a red shouldered hawk just sat there. This guy was massive and incredibly alert and curious.

This is a Cooper Hawk, which got into a bowl of water outback. It is amazing and never seen a hawk this close.🎁❤️

This was my video and it ended up in our backyard and I did the video through the door window. It was surprising.

Cooper hawk feeding on live prey (Content warning: gore). NSFW

Never seen a raptor (or even knew of a Cooper hawk prior) feed on prey in real life--let alone a live one!--and never thought I would capture a feeding in progress.

Captured by me, using a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Location was in a parking lot, urban center near Salt Lake City, UT.

Sparrowhawk

I've never really had the opportunity to photograph sparrowhawks. They're insanely fast and twitchy. They barely sit still for a few seconds before taking off at full speed, without any warning to chase jays around.

It was really fun to watch this male hunting. I love those autumn colours in the background, but I'm afraid they won't be around for much longer because of the wind and heavy rain.

Peregrine falcon in Ohio

Does anyone know where I could take my son to pretty reliably see a peregrine falcon in the wild? We’ve been to the bird sanctuary of Ohio, but we’d like to see one flying. Thank you!
