Sorry -- osprey that's been hanging around Craig Park in town. I was hoping it would try some fishing, but it just worked on its tan high up in a euc

@wev Thanks. I saw another osprey image that looked similar, but I wasn't sure. I can't ID one large bird from another most times.

Hint on wev's photos - he names them - when you hover for EXIF, the name shows up on the right.

Andy and I were taking a lot of hawk pictures for a while and I was looking them up a lot. For a while I didn't realized the adult and the juvenile should look different from each other.

Roy agrees with you. I don't know one hawk from another.

I know there are differences, but I have no idea what they are. :shame: I need to get a good field guide or something.

Thanks for pointing that out. Not sure what happened but I just deleted the attachment and reattached it.

No one knows why it happens. Seems to hit Roy and wev a lot.

This is an adult Northern Harrier. He is the only one I have seen in this area. So far these are my best shots of him. Unfortunately getting closer is not much of an option. These are taken at about 120 yards.
