Saw this beauty in my yard the other night when I took my dog out.

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

‘Such a restless girl, our little queen. She seldom let more than three days pass without going off for a ride. Some days they would ride along the Rosby road to hunt for shells and eat beside the sea. Other times she would take her entourage across the river for an afternoon of hawking.’

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😂

Love is stored in the hawk 🤎

Today's Saturday sketch. We've had a couple of Prairie Falcons hanging out lately. When a happy falcon fluffs out its little chin beard it's just the cutest thing in the entire world. These guys are known to strike with such power that they can knock off a head or limb entirely - I can't help but love that duality.

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.

Ospreys- done digitally

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

Might also post the inks for this piece later

This might not be the best picture, but I still wanted to share it. Just 20 years ago, the White-tailed Eagle/havsörn was extinct in this area. Thanks to Projekt Havsörn, initiated in the 1970s by the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation, this magnificent and majestic bird can now be spotted here quite regularly. Today, during a walk, we saw two of them, and it made me so happy! Värmland, Sweden (November 24, 2024).
