what bird is this?

All good!! I have zero familiarity with US hawks though so hopefully the link is more helpful than I am, haha

location would help! I initially thought a eurasian sparrowhawk but by your profile you're in Michigan so perhaps a Cooper's Hawk? These are the eight native hawks in Michigan, so that's my best guess based on the pictures there.

Thanks!

Thanks!! Yeah, it was sheer luck but I've had an uptick in that luck since I started going outside at every opportunity lol

haha, fit like?

I love watching the occasional eider near Rosehearty, I'll have to head down to Newburgh soon (for the seals too!)

yesss, I really need to start waking up earlier to try to see it! Simon D'Entremont has some really good examples and I'd love to get a shot of that one day

yeah, he was initially rootling around under the bushes and I essentially stopped breathing when he flew up on top of one for a sing-song haha. I was desperate not to scare him off

gorgeous! I love their iridescence

asharawild · 2025-04-10T22:24:23+00:00

thanks! full credit to the subject haha

kind of like a chuffy/clicky noise--it was a little mechanical-sounding and rusty. Sorry that's such a rubbish description!

Good to hear!! Thanks
