TFW the monkeys are stomping around again.
The great horned owls have taken over last year’s red-tailed hawk nest! Chicks may have hatched since they seem to be standing on the nest sometimes instead of constantly brooding. They’ve never nested close by before and it’s been SO DAMN COOL. Hoo-hooing most nights for MONTHS <3

An owl nest against an overcast sky, fairly small in frame. A well camouflaged owl is peering over the edge of the nest, its silhouette only made obvious by its prominent ear tufts. The nest is framed naturally by tree trunks, dark brown cottonwood bark and mottled white-grey American sycamore bark. A few branches are just beginning to leaf out.

🌎 Red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus)

The red-shouldered hawk is a medium-sized bird of prey found in North America. It has distinctive reddish-brown shoulders and a barred pattern on its underparts. Known for its piercing call, this hawk prefers wooded habitats near water sources where it hunts small mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. It is an agile flier and builds its nest in the canopy of trees. The Red-shouldered hawk plays an important role in controlling rodent populations and is considered a symbol of healthy ecosystems. Five subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

An eastern screech owl sitting in a hole in a dead tree. It faces the viewer, one eye slightly closed, as if winking. Its feathers perfectly match the colours of the tree trunk.

A red kite soaring through the sky with its wings spread wide. The bird's striking colors and forked tail make it easy to recognize.

🌏 Shaheen falcon (Falco peregrinus peregrinator)

The shaheen falcon, also known as the black shaheen, is a subspecies of the peregrine falcon, and is known for its powerful build. It displays blackish upperparts, rufous underparts with dark streaks, and a white throat sharply contrasted by a black face mask. Distinctive rufous underwing-coverts are also present. These falcons inhabit southern Asia, ranging from India and Sri Lanka to southeastern China. They prefer rocky and hilly terrains, often seen perched on cliffs or rock pinnacles. Shaheen falcons are swift predators, known for their incredible diving speeds when hunting. They primarily target other birds, capturing them in mid-air. They are typically solitary or found in pairs, and are known to mate for life.

Conservation status: Vulnerable

We hear lots of news about golden eagle mortality by wind turbines. However, this is not the largest source of mortality in the western US. Any guesses?

Illegal shooting... Needless and disgusting! (Katzner et al. 2020, Millsap et al. 2022)

Portrait of an American Bald Eagle - handmade watercolor painting

Have a great day!

More here --> https://karen-kaspar.pixels.com/featured/american-bald-eagle-portrait-karen-kaspar.html

American Bald Eagle portrait is a watercolor painting in landscape format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. It shows the head and upper body of a bald eagle sitting and looking to the right. While the background and the plumage of the bird of prey are depicted in an abstract way with loose expressive brushstrokes, the head is painted in a more detailed and realistic way. The white feathers of the head and the strong yellow-orange beak stand out clearly against the background in various shades of blue from turquoise to indigo and the dark brown feathers of the body and are emphasised by this colour contrast and light-dark contrast.

🌍🌏 Common buzzard (Buteo buteo)

The common buzzard is a medium-sized bird of prey with broad wings and a short tail. Its plumage varies greatly, from dark brown to paler shades, often with a light chest. They are widespread across Europe, and increasingly common in the UK, inhabiting woodlands, farmlands, and uplands. Buzzards soar on thermals, often seen circling overhead, and have a distinctive mewing call. They primarily hunt small mammals, but also take birds and insects. Eleven subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

Caught up on a fascinating episode of Rare Earth while knitting before work this morning, about birds of prey - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0024x4b

Well worth a listen, though they could’ve more robustly challenged the shooter’s “right of reply” bit throwing out whataboutery that felt reminiscent of climate denial.

BBCRare Earth - Beak and Talon - BBC SoundsBritain's birds of prey seem to be bouncing back. Can their momentum continue?
