This afternoon the blue jays that like to hang around were raising a ruckus in the trees in the back. I went to the window to see what was going on and a huge hawk flew out of the trees right towards me. However, because our yard has a continuous 15 deg slope from front to back, the hawk was below my field of view as it passed by the window. I've never seen a flying hawk from above before and it was wonderful. #birds #illinois #raptor #amazed

One of the local eagles doing a little fly-by last Thursday. Only a couple months to go before the migratory eagles head this way. Two years ago there were a lot of migrants. A year later there were hardly any. Last year there were the most I've ever seen. Hoping we'll have a bunch this year.

I spent yesterday afternoon scouting for fall color changes between Coal Bank and Molas Pass. There was not much, but the beauty of the San Juans was present, as always. And to top off the day, this red-tailed hawk appeared as I was packing up.

Booster 7 and 9 have several significant differences, starting with the changeover from Raptor 2 to Raptor 2.1, which uses electric #TVC (Thrust Vector Control). A possible reason why #SpaceX has an issue with #methane leakage compared to other #rockets could be the high #pressure that #Raptor operates at in its Methane turbopumps, hot gas manifold, and the Main Combustion Chamber (MCC). One of the most obvious changes to Booster 9 was the addition of a hot stage vent ring on the top that will allow SpaceX to fire 🔥 the ship’s engines while still attached to the booster. https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2023/09/starship-upgrades-upcoming-test-flight/

Heading into the 3rd week of September is the peak of #autumn #migration in the US for #BroadWingedHawk. I found two on my morning walk here in #Stillwater, #Oklahoma, but also kinda got attacked by a couple of unleashed dogs. (They got confused when I ignored them and never actually bit me, but they could've easily been hit by cars on the busy road they dashed across to get to me.)

Diego the tiny purple raptor is sent flying by it, spinning in the air, his skeleton visible from the zap. 

Stray lasers fly all around, one even pierces through a water tower!

And Diego gets shot again, right in the stomach!!

He flies back and lands in a shopping cart, he rolls down hill and stops in Tir the triceratops's belly. 

The big strong dinosaur then holds Diego in his arms, shielding him from the lasers that hit Tir in the back.

Diego groans, coming to, and says, "Now I know how fried chicken feels...!"

American Kestrel, is a small falcon. They are pale when seen from below and warm, rusty brown spotted with black above, with a black band near the tip of the tail. Males have slate-blue wings; females’ wings are reddish brown. Both sexes have pairs of black vertical slashes on the sides of their pale faces—sometimes called a “mustache” and a “sideburn."

Cooper's Hawk (juvenile) is a crow-sized Accipiter hawk adapted to moving through forests in pursuit of songbirds. It's reappearance in this park coincides with the onset of migration. These raptors have adapted to suburban and urban settings, aided by an abundance of bird feeders, which I call "Cooper's buffet."

A Merlin, basking in the sun on an otherwise chilly day last February. The Merlin is a small falcon that specializes in aerial pursuit or surprise capture of avian prey.

Breeding in boreal forests in North America and Eurasia, many migrate, but residents remain in middle and northern latitudes year-round. Merlins are widespread, but uncommon, and have adapted to suburban and urban settings.

As many of us do, until I became interested in birding, I tended to lump all raptors together and assumed common ancestry for the entire group. As a phylogeneticist, it interested me to learn that falcons (Falconiformes) are more closely related to songbirds and parrots than they are to hawks and vultures (Accipitrimorphae), which share common ancestry with owls and woodpeckers.
#birds #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #naturephotography #nature #MastodonNatureCommunity #wildlife #birding #aves #raptor #falcon #Merlin

Merlin is a small falcon with many subspecies throughout North America and Eurasia. "Merlins are generally dark and streaky, though their coloration varies geographically and by gender. Adult male Merlins are slaty gray to dark gray; females and immatures are browner. The chest is usually heavily streaked and the underwings are dark. The dark tail has narrow white bands, and the face often lacks a prominent malar or “mustache” stripe." (All About Birds)

This vulture was among a a flock perched in an old tree near Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana.

#photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #birds #birdsofmastodon #birdwatching #BlackVulture #raptor #birdofprey #vluture

This vulture perches on a large limb extending out from the trunk of and old oak tree.  The bird faces to the left and its left side is visible.  Its small bald head, thick legs, and large feet are grey, the feathers are black. Its eyes are black. Its thick longish neck holds the head forward.

"Black Vultures are large raptors. In flight, they hold their broad, rounded wings flat and angled slightly forward. The tail is very short and rounded. They have small, bare heads and narrow but strongly hooked bills. These birds are uniform black except for white patches or “stars” on the underside of their wingtips (this can be hard to see in strong light or from far away). The bare skin of the head is black."

This Merlin Falcon was calling for some time while perched in the Spruce tree in Guelph Ontario Canada. It finally decided to take off which meant the small birds could return.They are small with heavily streaked plumage and look too small to do much damage but they are fierce and energetic birds of prey.

Not this morning.

I wanted to post a photo from this morning. I saw a broad winged hawk and a chimney swift and took a bunch of pictures, but ISO too high, the hawk was too far away, and the chimney swift was small and moving fast. So, all the photos were really bad. But here's a broad winged hawk I took on another day. I don't have a photo of a chimney swift and am quite disappointed that I messed up the shoot. Live and learn.

This hawk is flying from right to left.  The back of the hawk, wings, and tail are tilted slightly towards the camera. The hawk's beak however is level giving us a profile if the hooked beak and left yellow eye.  The top of the wings is brown with lighter roundish highlights giving the back and wings sort of a plated look.  The tips of the flight feathers are black.  The tail is fanned out at about 30 degrees and there are four stripes of color crossing the fan; staring and the base, there is a narrow white stripe, then a larger black stripe followed by another white stripe of similar width, the final black stripe is the widest and includes the tips of the feathers.

Flying kites.

There we were, hunkered down at my patio table in the backyard watching the sky. When two mystery birds appeared high up riding the thermals. They were Mississippi Kites (Ictinia mississippiensis). This is a new bird for me, I'd not heard of it until today.

"The Mississippi Kite makes a streamlined silhouette as it careens through the sky on the hunt for small prey, or dive-bombs intruders that come too close to its nest tree. These sleek, pearly gray raptors often hunt together and nest colonially in stands of trees, from windbreaks on southern prairies to old-growth bottomlands in the Southeast (and even on city parks and golf courses). After rearing their chicks they fly all the way to central South America for the winter." - allaboutbirds.org

This kite is flying directly overhead, from bottom to top, angled slightly to the left in this frame.  It's a relatively small bird for a raptor, its underbody and head area light color probably light gray.  Its head is tilted slightly left as if looking at something in that direction.  There is a short curved black beak and the area around the eyes is dark. When zoomed in I can make out a sharp yellow left eye.  Like other raptors, the eyes on this bird are set forward. Its wings are extended forming an "M" shape. The colors are hard to make out, but the wing itself is mostly grey with markings of black and white; the flight feathers, however, have a brown tint at the tips. The tail feathers are marked with alternating colors of black and white. Large black marks with narrower white marks separating them.

"Mississippi Kites are slender, fairly small raptors with long, pointed wings. The tail is fairly long and square-tipped. The strongly hooked bill is small and delicate. Mississippi Kites are an inky mix of gray and black, lightening to pale gray-white on the head and in the secondaries of the wings. The wingtips and tail are black. Juveniles are streaky, with brownish chests and underwings, and banded tails.  These birds are excellent aerialists, spending much of their time aloft and sailing in the wind or flying with buoyant wingbeats. They are agile enough to catch insects, even dragonflies, on the wing. They may form large flocks during migration." - allaboutbirds.org

Backyard birds hide.

This red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) was flying over checking out the backyard birds. The hawk hid among the vultures - quite clever. I found a puff of feathers in the yard not long before taking this photograph.

"This is probably the most common hawk in North America. If you’ve got sharp eyes you’ll see several individuals on almost any long car ride, anywhere. Red-tailed Hawks soar above open fields, slowly turning circles on their broad, rounded wings. Other times you’ll see them atop telephone poles, eyes fixed on the ground to catch the movements of a vole or a rabbit, or simply waiting out cold weather before climbing a thermal updraft into the sky." - allaboutbirds.org

This hawk is flying from the lower left to the upper right, in this frame. The background is light blue sky.

The hawk's head is oriented straight ahead but from below its right dark eye is visible and I can see the hook of its short dark beak.  Its head is mostly dark brown a color that carries on running about halfway down the front of the wings.  The underside of the wings and flight feathers are light tan, but the tips of the flight feathers are dark brown.  There is also a dark marking just before the wing tips.  The underside of the hawk's body is also light tan but there are dark speckles across the chest area.  Light color legs and feet fold back against the tail.  Reddish brown tail feathers fan out almost 45 degrees.

"Red-tailed Hawks are large hawks with typical Buteo proportions: very broad, rounded wings and a short, wide tail. Large females seen from a distance might fool you into thinking you’re seeing an eagle. (Until an actual eagle comes along.) Most Red-tailed Hawks are rich brown above and pale below, with a streaked belly and, on the wing underside, a dark bar between shoulder and wrist. The tail is usually pale below and cinnamon-red above, though in young birds it’s brown and banded. “Dark-morph” birds are all chocolate-brown with a warm red tail. “Rufous-morph” birds are reddish-brown on the chest with a dark belly." - allaboutbirds.org

Oh, my, the adorableness...

Confession: I think I got too attached to this little one for the past weeks. Made me really sad when the first hatched died, so I kept checking to make sure this one was still alive.

Almost heart broken.

Yesterday afternoon, I was sitting with my wife on the front porch of her little quilting shop. We have a couple old redwood rocking chairs. Ben and Charlie were laying on the porch watching the neighborhood.

I was fooling with my phone, I had taken a photo of some clouds and was typing in a caption, when two red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) appeared flying by right in front of me. I fumbled my phone and grabbed at my camera, but managed only this one shot, which would be a great shot if the right wing was in the frame 😢. I got a couple more pictures, but the hawks were flying away by that time ... it's just not the same.

This hawk pretty much fills the frame.  It is flying from left to right at a slight upward angle.  The background is white.

The hawks black and yellow beak is short and curved like a sharp hook. The color pattern of the beak is black at the tip yellow behind the curve where the nostril resides and black at the base.  The hawk's dark eye is surrounded by black, but the head feathers are brown.  The front edges of the wings are brown but the underside of the wings and body are a very light buff with dark brown markings that run length wise to the body.  The flight feathers are also very light buff with dark brown markings that run across the feathers, the tips of the flight feathers are dark brown.  The reddish-brown tail feathers are fanned out at about 30 degrees.  Yellow legs and large yellow feet with curved black talons lay back against the tail.

Note.  The end of the right wing is out of the frame.

Another photo from this morning`'s catch.

This black vulture (Coragyps atratus) flew over this morning while I was drinking coffee. I'm pretty sure there are some congregating nearby in the forest. The same with turkey vultures. I see them in the morning lifting up from the forest to rise into the sky.

#photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #birds #birdsofmastodon #birdwatching #BlackVulture #BirdofPrey #raptor

This vulture is oriented with its head up and to the left.  Its lower body is facing the camera.  Its head and beak are gray, and it has a black eye.  Its body is black as well as its wings which span a distance more than two times its boy length.  All of the flight feathers are black except for the five feathers at the ends of each wing which are white.  Its black tail is fanned out at about 30 degrees.  Gray legs and feet lay back against the tail.

"With sooty black plumage, a bare black head, and neat white stars under the wingtips, Black Vultures are almost dapper. Whereas Turkey Vultures are lanky birds with teetering flight, Black Vultures are compact birds with broad wings, short tails, and powerful wingbeats. The two species often associate: the Black Vulture makes up for its poor sense of smell by following Turkey Vultures to carcasses. Highly social birds with fierce family loyalty, Black Vultures share food with relatives, feeding young for months after they’ve fledged." - allaboutbirds.org

Feeling harried.

This is a northern harrier. I took this photograph a couple months ago at Holly Beach, Louisiana on the Gulf of Mexico.

This isn't a great photo, especially cropped as far in as is this one. But you can get a pretty look at the bird even if it doesn't have the detail and texture a better photo would show.

"The Northern Harrier is distinctive from a long distance away: a slim, long-tailed hawk gliding low over a marsh or grassland, holding its wings in a V-shape and sporting a white patch at the base of its tail. Up close it has an owlish face that helps it hear mice and voles beneath the vegetation. Each gray-and-white male may mate with several females, which are larger and brown. These unusual raptors have a broad distribution across North America." - allaboutbirds.org

In this photo a northern harrier is flying from left to right in the frame.  The background is a hazy light blue.

The  owlish brown face of the harrier faces forward head straight.  It has a small black hooked beak. The eyes are shaded, but looking closely a yellow piercing right eye is visible. Wings are spread upward and from a "M" shape.  The color of the wings and body is a medium brown with darker accents.  The wings are dark and there are black feather fingers at the ends of the wings.  The long black tail is folded and points straight back. Legs and feet aren't visible.

"Northern Harriers are slender, medium-sized raptors with long, fairly broad wings and a long, rounded tail. They have a flat, owl-like face and a small, sharply hooked bill. Harriers often fly with their wings held in a dihedral, or V-shape above the horizontal.  Males are gray above and whitish below with black wingtips, a dark trailing edge to the wing, and a black-banded tail. Females and immatures are brown, with black bands on the tail. Adult females have whitish undersides with brown streaks, whereas immatures are buffy, with less streaking. All Northern Harriers have a white rump patch that is obvious in flight." - allaboutbirds.org

In the woods.

This cooper's hawk was around a while back and I had the opportunity to get several photographs. This one was just inside the wooded area behind my property.

"Life is tricky for male Cooper’s Hawks. As in most hawks, males are significantly smaller than their mates. The danger is that female Cooper’s Hawks specialize in eating medium-sized birds. Males tend to be submissive to females and to listen out for reassuring call notes the females make when they’re willing to be approached. Males build the nest, then provide nearly all the food to females and young over the next 90 days before the young fledge." - allaboutbirds.org

#photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #birds #birdsofmastodon #birdwatching #CoopersHawk #raptor #BirdofPrey

The frame is oriented letter style.

The hawk is perched in a tree with vegetation in the background.  There are four grey and green branches entering the frame from the bottom.  From left to right, the first branch cuts across the lower left corner, the second originates from about halfway across the bottom and exits almost halfway up the left side. The third starts about three quarters way across and exits in the upper left corner. The fourth starts at the right corner and exits just inside the upper right corner.

The hawk is perched on the third branch facing left, its left side is visible to the camera. The top of the head back, wings, and tail are all grey with some darker grey overlaying feathers. The hawk eye is a piercing yellow with a black pupil.  The grey beak is very clear, a large nostril is at the base of the beak, and farther down, the upper beak curves over the lower like a very sharp claw.  The face is and breast are covered with yellow and white radiating feathers.  At the base of the left wing is a puff of white feathers. Legs are not visible, but on the underside of the branch, a dark yellow talon is visible gripping the branch.

"A medium-sized hawk with the classic accipiter shape: broad, rounded wings and a very long tail. In Cooper’s Hawks, the head often appears large, the shoulders broad, and the tail rounded.  Adults are steely blue gray above with warm reddish bars on the underparts and thick dark bands on the tail." - allaboutbirds.org
