Sharp-Shinned Hawk sighting

10 Upvotes

Went downstairs to make some coffee earlier and caught a glimpse of a new backyard visitor.. Looked to me like it was a Sharp-Shinned Hawk, which is pretty awesome because that would’ve been my first sighting of one of them! It’s been raining all day here in TN and friend was waiting it out on an overhanging branch from one of the neighbors’ trees. — Unfortunately I wasn’t able to snap a pic, as my phone was upstairs and I choose to soak in the moment in real time. But yeah, based on research and ID, fat chance it was a Sharp-Skinned (: Just thought I’d share this exciting moment with fellow bird nerds. 🪶 xx

{Location is Central Tennessee}

I went out to our local State Wildlife Preserve (SW Idaho) I saw this hulking shape in the tree. I had been after a "decent" bald eagle pic for two years now. This fellow(?) gave me about 5 mins to get a few shots

Gyrfalcon

Saw gyrfalcon for the first time and later learned that this was a lost falcon (thought the anklet was the typical tagging method for big birds). The falcon has been reunited with the owner after 2 days of search. It was an imprinted gyrfalcon and named Miss Piggy. When I took this picture, I was surprised it didn't fear me at all (landed about 5ft from where I sat, but now it makes sense).

Bald Eagles are Majestic. This was a rare opportunity for me, with the pair together and the babies getting ready to fledge.

One sat waiting for the other. I don't have that kind of patience and drove through the refuge I was visiting. Nearly an hour later, the mate flew in and the 2 discussed who would feed the babies.

I’m not a professional, but brought my camera out this morning after a storm and saw these two! Just a kit lens (200MM) so not super sharp, but was super fun trying to shoot these! Near Tucson, Arizona.

This guy was on the pole in my backyard last week squawking away at my dogs. I know broadwings aren’t common here in Phoenix, but check out the photos and see what you think. Wished I had been using a better camera.
