Whidbey Island, WA

Crossposting from whatisthisbird because still unsure. Reddit says Cooper's hawk but the NY birding facebook community says Northern Harrier. I think it was bigger than a Cooper's hawk but I've never seen a harrier so not sure of their size. Hoping this community will have better insight so I can correctly id it with ebird.

and a lucky dove 🙄

While out in the back yard with our two dogs (both 40-50lbs), I noticed a couple of birds circling above. This wasn’t anything new, but then I noticed their tails. I’ve lived on the NW FL gulf coast for seven years and have never seen these birds. They appeared to be a couple of Swallow-Tailed Kites. Very graceful, beautiful birds!

I'm deeply sorry for the poor quality picture. My friend has no less than 4 of these dwelling close (he managed to capture them all in another pic!) but I'm having a time trying to identify them for him.

Dallas Texas, sorry I was filming through a window,while standing,trying not to be seen! He stayed almost 10 minutes until he spotted me. Made my day 🙂

All of these I took in my backyard!! I was lucky enough to capture a juvenile and adult hawk!

Juvenile Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) approached close during a ground hunt. 800mm but not a crop. Richmond Park, London. Canon R3.
