What is this!? I was thinking a golden eagle or a hawk, I haven't seen any of these kinds around where I live and this was in front of my house:eek: It looks huge next to that raven http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...417_200046.jpg |
Almost looks like it could be a chickenhawk to me.... Wait do they live there?? Hmm IDK :p |
Wow! That IS huge! I had a very large hawk in my evergreen tree the other evening. I'll be watching this thread to see if anyone knows what it is. |
Does this look like it? http://mri.usd.edu/watertrail/FieldG...ed_Hawk_lg.jpg |
I was so relieved of never seeing any big birds other than magpies so this freaked me out, at least Rosco likes to eat birds LOL so he could protect joel |

Looks like a hawk to me. We have them in our neighberhood. Im surprised that its not having that raven/black bird for dinner !! |
Looks to me to be a Harris Hawk. I was talking to a falconer at Sea World with a harris hawk the other day and he said that he could pick up m dog and take him away....eeekkkkkkk lol thankfully my dog was at home :) |

Can't really see it good. It is definitely a predator bird - just not sure which kind. It actually sort of looks like an eagle or harris hawk to me, but just too far away to be sure. |
Is this in Anchorage where you live? It looks to me like (from what I can tell from the photo) a possible female Rough-legged hawk. Dark lower belly, streaky breast, dark terminal band on the tail. Large, about the size of a red-tail (which that could be as well). Given the relative size to the raven, this is a large female. Roughlegs, as well as Redtails both have a fair number of plumage variations, to keep in mind. Definitely not an eagle. The plumage is all wrong, and not big enough either. All falcons are much smaller, even the largest one, the Gyrfalcon isn't much bigger than a raven. Rough-legged hawks are soaring hawks of the far north, tundra into the Arctic in spring/summer. They breed there. Gorgeous birds! |
