Title: Falcon? Post by: JoeD on 08-Feb-10, 10:21:55 AM I took these pictures through a picture window with a sun glare. I did not want to go out side to spook the bird. I hope this post works

You could be correct. :happy: Then again you might have a Red Shoulder Hawk (size, coloring, and low fence location). Where are our Photoshoppers? Title: Re: Falcon?

Looks like it has a speckled chest, hard to tell because of the blur. Good mystery pic Joe. Title: Re: Falcon?

I hope this post works My first impression is red tail hawk, though I may be imagining seeing a belly band. My sense is that the tail is too long for a peregrine-they also don't usually come down that low-chest seems too pale for a cooper's hawk or red-shoulder. Good mystery bird! Title: Re: Falcon?

Title: Re: Falcon? Post by: Patti from Kentucky on 09-Feb-10, 12:02:56 AM I vote for Coop as well...shape and size, especially the long tail. Plus the location/behavior; hanging out in a yard seems Cooper's Hawk-ish.
