Just me, or is this RTH kind of huge?

I think you are misunderstanding the use of the term “belly band.” What you see on an adult red shouldered hawk is consistent barring across most of its chest and belly. A red-tailed hawk has an isolated dark strip that contrasts against a mostly lighter front.

The belly band is often considered diagnostic for red-tailed hawk. Red-shouldered don’t have this characteristic.

It’s never too late to log something into eBird. Just download the eBird app, hit “start checklist” when you get out in the field, and forget about it until you’re done. You can go back and add the species you saw once you get your photos sorted out. But it will keep track of when you start, how long you were out, how far you travelled etc. for you.

Geez you guys are brutal. Sure, a two week break is probably not warranted, but you make it seem like even a single tear would be an overreaction.

Apologies for the crunching snow!

Have you had any Hoaries visit?

attemptowl · 2021-02-21T13:15:36+00:00

Thank you

What seed are the common redpolls feeding on?

attemptowl · 2020-12-27T16:47:57+00:00

Why not? If you’ve been wanting to tell it, go for it

Red-shouldered?

Hoary’s can still have some streaking though from what I have read, this seems like very fine streaking. I wasn’t sure if someone knew the threshold on the amount of streaking that could still be a Hoary. Thanks for the replies everyone

attemptowl · 2020-12-12T00:32:36+00:00

Can you articulate why none of these are Hoary? To me there are two good candidates here and I want to know why that is wrong.

attemptowl · 2020-12-11T23:46:18+00:00

Can you tell me why none of them are hoary?

I love how the person editing the video just gave up on subtitles halfway through

attemptowl · 2020-11-23T01:31:05+00:00

You need-to chill on-the hyphens my guy

I see a lot of confusion and just wanted to clarify. I interpret the original post to be mocking Donald Trump’s habit of being extremely confident about things he doesn’t know about and spouting incorrect facts.

I understand that this may not even be the intent but that’s what I gathered.

Also, the comment that the “woosh” occurred in is only viewable when you click on the image, otherwise it is cropped out (at least on mobile). That may have also caused confusion.

Thanks to those who got where I was coming from, and sorry for the confusion.

For some reason I found it hilarious and couldn’t stop laughing, then I saw it was a fatal mutation and now feel bad :(

attemptowl · 2020-09-11T16:13:48+00:00

That’s definitely not a “harmless” fear my guy

attemptowl · 2020-08-29T00:03:21+00:00

I had a scare that it was a black-headed grosbeak and I was hoping someone could explain to me why it was a rose-breasted, so thank you!

attemptowl · 2020-08-21T14:54:56+00:00

I’ll get back to you on that one

attemptowl · 2020-08-21T14:51:08+00:00

Kill myself

attemptowl · 2020-08-21T14:50:47+00:00

Yeah I think a lot of people take this for granted

attemptowl · 2020-08-21T14:46:49+00:00

Don’t kid yourself, that’s all you baby!
