    Spain: vulture or not?

    I moved to Rossell (Province of Castellon in Spain), living in the nature next to the mountains of the Natural Parc "Tinenca de Benifassa", and close to the sea. There are a lot of birds of prey living in these mountains, but as a beginner in bird spotting I don't know much about them...

    Hello everyone! I am incredibly new here! I've been observing a pair of Cooper's Hawks from April till now in my neighbourhood in Oakville, Ontario.

    Juvenile red-tailed hawk stalking chipmunks

    My chipmunk friends in the yard finally emerged from their burrows to greet spring, and I wasn't the only one who noticed. This hawk passed on his normal perch in the tree over the driveway and sat on a stump at ground level for nearly an hour watching them scurry around. He didn't get anybody...

    Juvenile Buzzard?

    Hi all. It turns out that harvesting brings out the birds of prey, I guess it flushes out all sorts of critters. I watched this bird on the ground for quite some time before three Red Kites turned up and either wanted its meal or didn't like its company. That said, I'm not sure what the bird is...
