H is for Hawk. Did you know that a red-shouldered hawk, during courtship, performs aerial displays, sometimes flying upside down for short distances. #birds #raptors

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #Outstretched I am sharing a photo of a female Red-Tailed Hawk I've known for a few years. She is banded and one of her anklets reads "42A" so that's my name for her. She's a beauty. 🪶 #Raptors

#Jackie arrived on 26 Dec. with a long bit of fishing line stuck to her beak. She left with the line still attached. Fortunately she arrived today without the fishing line. Fans all breathed a sigh of relief. Courtesy #FOBBVCAM | Friends of Big Bear Valley #raptors #birds #baldeagles #birdsofprey

This is a turkey vulture with its wings #Outstretched to a 6 foot wingspan. The photo is labeled because it was part of a wildlife guide I made for my Miami neighbors, to help them identify the magnificent creatures that live among us. #BirdOfTheDay #EastCoastKin #birds

Red Tailed Hawk, Inwood Hill 12/11 #birds

Immature red-tail hawk with aberrant coloring-not quite leucistic, but def not a normal color for GA. He arrived emaciated & we just discovered that he is missing cartilage in 1 leg, prob a genetic defect. We are researching treatment options & if non-releasable we will keep him as an ambassador 💛🪶🦅

Happy #featheredFriday friends and day 12 of favorite photos... Sorry so late--busy day. Anyway, from July when two unexpected, Black-billed Cuckoos came out to say hello to me and a few friends and gave us all great looks. #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography 🪶🦉📷

Today’s #birdoftheday is Alan’s Nemesis aka the Kingfisher. I can relate seeing as this is the only identifiable picture of a kingfisher that I have and I see them flying away from me) fairly often. #birds

70 dead vultures. We should count ourselves lucky to have such strong vulture populations in the US compared with the rest of the world. But as very social birds, black vultures are especially vulnerable to HPAI. We need to keep an eye on this. #birds #vultures www.cleveland19.com/2025/12/08/d...
