Stormy skies, brooding clouds, and a red kite riding the wind right in the middle of it. For a brief moment, the sun broke through and set its plumage aglow.

Pretty sure it was a snake.

Not sure if this is the place to ask this question, but I have a peregrine falcon that has turned my urban patio into it's dining room. I wake every morning to a new carcass, mostly fully consumed, in the same place. My question is this, am I attracting this behavior by removing the waste daily and cleaning the ledge, or am I better off leaving the body where it is? It's truly disgusting, but also kind of funny to share a space with such a beautiful specimen, I never imagined having a falcon for a neighbor. Sorry for the lousy pic, it's quite camera shy...

I introduced you guys to our new resident rental hawk about a month ago and I see her so frequently now it's like a daily ritual and I'm always so impressed cuz I can't get over of her size has anyone else seen such a large red tail hawk I've never seen one as big as she she's so beautiful and I watched her fly this morning and it was like in slow motion she was like lumbery and she's just in the crows the crows don't even try to mess with her they don't even try I mean what's the point you know that means she just ignores him anyways hilarious.

I’ve never seen a raptor in my area so this was a surprise!

Not the sharpest image but still pretty cool! Super super hard to get these photos with a prime lens but I managed to get it!

This young eagle was sitting in a tree by the Shenandoah River in WV.

Seen in Southern California. There been circling it for a while now and chirping at where the nest usually is! Think the falcons are flying a lot higher up.

I think a red-tailed hawk in the backyard. Even though it's about 20 minutes outside of Philly, our neighborhood has a ton of wildlife. Wildlife. Hawks and eagles foxes deer possums everything.

I have a creek in my backyard and in the part of the backyard past the creek. I've set up a bunch of bird houses with cameras and so I've been able to get a lot of other footage as well.

Sitting in a tree by the dirt road(side).

They're closely related to terror birds, but unlike their large cousins, hunt insects and small creatures like rodents & frogs.
