Cleve, Yay for the tiny url! Now I don't have to go through computer contortions to see your wonderful photos. I love the action you catch. I've always...
On the other hand Cleve, the tail shot of the harrier shows some interesting tattering also. It looks as though that bird has a few damaged tail feathers....
What a wonderful sequence, Cleve! It's not too often we get to see such a bird all akimbo...and still look good doing so. Thanks for sharing. Dianna...
Thanks Maggie, Shirley, and Dianna. In yesterday's photos of the kite-Cooper's hawk altercation, I neglected to post the last one of the Cooper's hiding in an...
Hi Cleve, That was truly a fantastic sequence. One of the best I've seen that only patience and a lot of time in the field will pay off. Thanks for posting...
I agree with Evan I think you have been filming an immature California Red-shouldered Hawk and for even more reasons, eye color being one, number of bands on...
Thanks, Evan and Bill. I often disclaim that I am no birder, But to help with my continuing education, would you take a look at the photos linked below and...
Cleve: I suggest the birds (not certain the 3rd photo is the same bird as the first two) are immature Cooper's Hawks. Accipiters are a little tricky if size...
... bird as ... tricky ... chest ... white tip ... band of ... those two ... confusing ... You seemed to want your answer from just 2 people. Seeing this is a...
Thanks Bill and Paul. Those photos were taken in the last few days within 100 yards of where the kite was harassing the young red- shoulder -- a feeble excuse...
As I suggested accipiters can be quite tricky and Paul may well be correct. Size is often a great help with accipiters and photos (even great ones) can distort...
ok, this pics are DEFINITELY an accipter, I'd even go out on a limb and say that these are NOT Goshawk's :-) Seriously though I believe these are all Cooper's...
Hi Bill, For some reason I have not seen any of your replies on this topic until I went to the forum itself. I just wanted to agree with all of your points and...
<In other words when you get back from a field photo shoot you not only have to edit but you may also have to identify :-)> Truer words never emailed. :) Not...
Adobe is offering a combination deal with Kodak gallery for those "print-it-online" photography books -- a 25% discount if one uses Adobe Photoshop Elements 7....
Then I'm giving it up and moving on to something else. I have added a photo plus an enlargement of a section of the photo to the album posted on 11-29....
Thats an easy one sorry I havent read some of the recent post ...its a coopers hawk..immature same with the other pics lower down and then an immature harrier...
Well, in all honesty I can make arguments for either Cooper's or Sharpie. If you wanted to add some strong assistance to the argument measure the length of the...
A few photos from yesterday. At last I was able to catch a decent shot of a northern harrier doing that kind of a reverse dive with a half-twist they often do...
A sharpie has a shorter beak than a Coopers and yes the size is what gives it away also the tail seems longer on the cooper hawk in proportion to the body...I...
Howard: I have been a falconer for over 30 years and flown all 3 accipiter species but photos can sometimes be misleading so although my original suggestion...
... of ... to ... This is strange. Goes from an accipiter to harrier. That's what I see. Partial tail on accip to full tail? How is that possible? Not sure...
Stunning NH sequence, Cleve. WOW to #6 and a bigger WOW to #7!! I wish I'd known about PWC meeting. I would have liked to attend and meet the GWO Hoot. fly the...
Early this morning (around 8:00), the south side Peregrine Falcon at Morro Rock was coasting lazily back and forth across the face of the Rock when she...
When I arrived on the scene around 10:30, the Great Horned Owl was still ensconced in its niche and two Peregrine Falcons were making passes and screaming...
It would be fun, Judy, but I'm scouting for the Christmas Bird count with Al this morning. Maggie ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
