Cooper's Hawk
Eagles Feeding On Salmon
We get many eagles here in BC They are in abundance when the salmon come up the river to spawn.
It's fascinating to watch so many of them.
Unfortunately the salmon stocks were not very high last year & every year we see less & less of the eagles feeding.
It's wonderful to see them flying around all year though.

Northern Harrier (female)
This young female Northern Harrier has been visiting the red maple in our backyard over the last few weeks.
Early in the morning, she can be heard calling her mate, who responds from a short distance away. We have yet to see him, however.
Two summers ago a breeding pair of Northern Harriers raised young in the large pine trees near our backyard and it is quite possible this female is either part of this pair or one of the offspring.
We have seen the male at other times of the year but not yet this winter.

Is this a juvenile Cooper's Hawk?
I am trying to identify this hawk that I saw in the parking lot at my office in Tamarac, South Florida.
We are very close to the edge of the Everglades in western Broward county. The parking lot has many bushes and small trees and the local birds are mockingbirds, mourning doves, grackles, blue jays, and the occasional green parrots.
A couple of local wildlife experts differed in opinion - either a juvenile broadwing or juvenile Cooper's hawk.
The hawk was in a small tree and the mockingbirds were having a fit. They were squawking and chasing and dive bombing the hawk. But I followed the commotion and got these pics of the hawk on a branch.
He was much larger than the smaller birds but not as large as some of the hawks I have seen in other neighborhoods.

Hawk on our bird bath
We have a pair of hawks living in the woods near our home. We have not been able to identify the birds, but they are beautiful creatures. Can someone help identify this bird?
