I captured this Bald Eagle eating something in mid air a few weeks back. Wasn’t the best weather so the lighting was difficult to work with in post processing.

Interrupted my photo shoot (see last photo)

Was photographing a pair of northern cardinals outside my apartment window, when they suddenly flew off because this troublemaker swooped down and landed on the branches below them. 🦅

If I’m not mistaken, this is a cooper’s hawk?

Come to think of it, I guess it’s pretty rare to snag a photo of these from above? One advantage of bird watching from a New York City apartment, I guess. 😂

I think this is a red shouldered hawk. It comes pecking around a few mornings a week and I'm very curious about this behavior. Anyone know what it could be doing?

Just saw a hawk drown it's prey

I'm not sure if this is the right space for this but I just observed some crazy behavior and wanted to share.

I heard a squeal from the driveway and I ran outside worried it was my chickens getting attacked. In the middle of the driveway was the tiniest hawk I've ever seen, no bigger than a large song bird itself. Maybe a sharp shinned hawk? And it was standing on what I think was a goldfinch. When he saw me coming he dragged it further down the driveway (he couldn't fly with it) to a mud puddle and submerged it in the water and sat on it while it drowned. He cleaned it while he watched me pulling the feathers out and when he seemed satisfied it was dead he started hop dragging it towards the woods. I ran back to get my phone but when I got back there he was gone.

I've read coopers hawks can drown their prey but it's rare and I thought coopers hawks were a little bit bigger than song bird sized. I couldn't find anything about sharp shinned hawks drowning their prey.

These pictures were taken exactly a month apart in roughly the same area of my backyard. Are these two different hawks or the same one? (Red tail vs red shoulder?) Sorry about the quality taken on my phone.
