it’s crazy how much diversity there can be in one species…these are all pictures of the same bird species (red-tailed hawk)

One of my favorite raptors to see, the American Kestrel. This little guy was finishing his lunch and allowed me to get a few close-ups before flying away.

Oh, hello Sparrowhawk - I'm your friend, not food (20.9.).

That look, blood on the claws and feathers - and a photographer in mild panic😂

Fun Fact: I once saw one eating a fish on the yard, then looked at me and decided to take its meal elsewhere lol

Barred Owl by Angie Vogel

[todaysbird]

the peregrine falcon, known historically in north america as the duck hawk, is one of the world’s most widely distributed birds, and indisputably the most widespread raptor; they are found on every continent with the exception of antarctica. they are skilled hunters, in part due to their status as the world’s fastest animals (often misattributed to the cheetah); they are capable of diving at over 200 mph, with the highest recorded speed being 242 mph. they are known to feed on a diverse array of reptiles, mammals, or whatever prey they can carry, but they often show a preference for feeding on passerine birds. this has led to this species thriving in urban environments due to their willingness to feed on invasive species like the rock dove. they are also common in falconry, and are known as a highly trainable and reliable bird. like most birds of prey, peregrines exhibit sexual dimorphism, with females being significantly larger than males.
