Yesterday I scored a hat trick of raptors. Walking along a trail, I spotted a pair of Osprey. On my way back, one had apparently turned into a Bald Eagle! Later, a Red-tailed Hawk swooped right over my parked car and perched right next to it. #birds #birding #raptors #HamOnt

A September birding catch up post. A really solid month of #birding with Steppe Eagle being a superb highlight. #birds #birdwatching #finland #raptors #gulls #gullsWP #birdsseenin2026

I believe I can spy,
The rodents trembling as I fly ....

I had a lifer today when I FINALLY spotted a Merlin! This year I've been able to check the boxes of two small raptors, this and an American Kestrel.

Another fave from my archives: a juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk perches on a fence in my local park while a group of admirers look on in the background. Each year, hawks nest in this park and people treat them like the superstars they are. 🪶

Juvenile Bald Eagle perched on a rock, sitting in the rain.
I was in my Chef whites, slowly crawling closer and closer to get this shot.

#367CollinsSt. falcons. When F24 rose from brooding to take prey to the pantry, 1 chick got caught on her foot & was pulled out towards the ledge. The little one pined for its floof pile till mum returned & quickly put him/her back in place.
