Raptor Wednesday

Sharp-shinned Hawk.

Bald Eagle.

Red-tailed Hawk.

Coopers Hawk.

Merlin. Amid the usual suspects, we’re missing only American Kestrels here. I’ll have more picture of them soon. I have’t seen a Red-shouldered Hawk this winter. The Swainson’s Hawk has returned to the recycling facility (our equivalent of a dump), but I haven’t personally seen it. The bird usually perches far from the entrance, which isn’t open to the public, so it makes more sense to look for in it the air when it ranges further afield. Meanwhile, Ospreys are on their way.
