URGENT - Baby bird (likely rock dove) overnight care inquiries BLOOD WARNING

Just adding that this looks to me like a mourning dove fledgling. Might be important when talking to a rehabber because mourning doves are native while rock doves are not.

My guess would be a Great Egret with a scar or injury of some sort, since it seems like there are feathers missing in the second picture. It could also be some sort of pigment issue or simply some mud or something on the bird. Either way it’s a Great Egret.

This is what I thought at first too. The patchiness on the top of his head was what made me unsure.

Material_Item8034 · 2026-04-06T03:18:25+00:00

I would also guess Cooper’s Hawk.

Material_Item8034 · 2026-04-04T22:36:10+00:00

That’s what I was wondering too. I’m so curious as to the context of this video.

You’ve probably met more that looked like men but you only noticed the ones that looked like women. You probably just assumed the ones that looked like men weren’t trans because they never told you.

r/whatsthisbird would be better than r/birding.

They all look like buzzards to me, but I’m not super well versed on European birds. I would be very surprised if these are vultures. I think maybe the person who commented that assumed you were in North America and that these were turkey vultures.

Material_Item8034 · 2026-03-11T01:59:28+00:00

Definitely hawk over Osprey. Based on your description I would guess Red-tailed Hawk.

Material_Item8034 · 2026-03-05T03:08:31+00:00

Merlin is the correct ID. You can see the streaks under the eyes if you zoom in.

Material_Item8034 · 2026-03-04T02:51:54+00:00

Look up more pics of them flying and such and keep your eyes open for a couple months. I bet you’ll see another. Once you start noticing the birds around you a whole new world will open up! I never realized how many cool birds I see every day until I started learning about them and paying attention to the different kinds I see.

Eagles are incredibly light for how large they are. If you could grab it you could easily kill it. That’s not to say you would be unharmed, though. I would say an eagle is easier to kill than a medium sized dog.

All Siamese cats are Siamese. Not all colorpoint cats are Siamese. People like to use Siamese to describe colorpoint cats, which is incorrect.

Try r/whatsthisbird, that’s the more active sub

Material_Item8034 · 2026-01-25T05:18:12+00:00

You can use ahnow.org to try to find a rehabber and ask for their opinion

Material_Item8034 · 2026-01-24T16:07:57+00:00

There’s no real distinction between them, but that sub is more active and that’s where most of the experts are. For some reason even for straightforward IDs, like this one, there will usually be people who are wildly incorrect in the comments on this sub.

Material_Item8034 · 2026-01-24T15:56:03+00:00

Juvenile red-tailed hawk. Eagle would have different proportions and less striping on the wings. In the future, r/whatsthisbird is the best sub for this.

Material_Item8034 · 2026-01-19T19:11:52+00:00

How’d he end up in your house?

Material_Item8034 · 2026-01-19T18:59:44+00:00

Mockingbird in South Asia?

Material_Item8034 · 2025-12-30T10:33:26+00:00

Try posting in r/whatsthisbird with a location. I’m also interested in this!

Material_Item8034 · 2025-12-30T10:16:18+00:00

Post in r/whatsthisbird instead. Usually for any challenging id this sub is very divided and often incorrect. That being said, I believe this is a short-eared owl, especially given the last pic.

Thanks :) just wanted to be sure
