So I'm leaving work and something darts in front of me, maybe 10ft away, too fast for me to see what it is. Peek around the tree blocking my path and I see this

Just like... a whole ass hawk. Dude's gotta be about 1.5ft tall. Massive fucking bird. And it's just staring me straight in my soul like this, even as I try to move ahead. It didn't budge. And there's only this path back to my car unless I want to walk on a busy highway. So I have the option of Death By Raptor or Death By Truck.

So I walk in the poison ivy filled patch off the sidewalk. Guy still isn't moving. Still staring me directly in the eyes. And I do this thing when animals are behaving strangely where I'll talk to them, so I'm just like, "Hey, man. I don't know you. You don't know me. This feels really threatening. I'm just trying to get to my car, dude. Can I get some space please? You're a big fucking bird. I see those claws. You could kill me right now, but I'd appreciate if you didn't, ok?"

It didn't move until I was about 2ft away. Again: I'm as far from it as I can be without walking into the street. It clearly wasn't going to budge. I walk past, thing flies up (silent, btw. Scary) and lands on a brick wall a little further ahead

Anyway. Weird guy. Nearly shit my pants when I noticed a bird big enough to carry off a fully grown cat was just... there, staring me in the face, unwilling to move away from me, a human, something it should see as a threat. I watched behind me the whole rest of the way to my car, just in case this bird decided to help me shed this mortal coil. 10/10 experience. Super cool guy.

#not vc sorry #bird #birds #aves #raptor #hawk #red shouldered hawk #i think. might be wrong on that id #accipitriformes #birds of prey #honestly a really cool guy so close up #I'm happy i wasn't attacked. i would not want to fight a guy that big.#talons on this bird were huge. big scary.#I've never heard of large predatory birds just landing in front of people like that so i don't know what gives #it didn't catch any food or anything. just landed near me then stared me down.#I don't know a lot about bird behavior so i tried to not look back at it but still.#it also didn't look injured. seemed like a healthy bird #if anyone has any idea why this thing would act the way it did I'd love to know

Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus)

January 31, 2024

John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge, Tinicum, Pennsylvania

This juvenile hawk has been spending the winter hunting in and around the meadows that surround the refuge's parking lot. I've seen it four separate days over several weeks, and often at the beginning and end of my walks.

Found some feathers and thought I'd share!

First up a wild turkey!

Next up is a barred owl!

A red shouldered hawk!

Next is a bit iffy but it's most likely a broad winged hawk

And lastly a great horned owl!

Hope y'all enjoyed this little post about feathers, and some of the birds we've spotted!

As always, after taking pictures make sure to put the feathers back where you found them in accordance of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act!

12/28/2022 - Wetlands, Northern California / Photographs taken & edited by me.

From left to right, top to bottom; { Acorn Woodpecker | American Robin | Anna's Hummingbird | Golden-Crowned Sparrow | Mourning Dove | Northern Flicker | Red-Shouldered Hawk | Scrub Jay | Spotted Towhee }

Notes: I think that's the same hawk from the other day; I spent most of my morning following it, trying to get a decent picture. I only really got a couple okay ones, but a good video of it calling.

Sylvan Sovereign

“Perched in the heart of the sylvan expanse, the hawk stands as a majestic sentinel, embodying the wild elegance of nature.” - Copilot

Charlie woke me from a nap, and I got up to let him and Ben outside. When I looked out the backdoor, there was a puff of feathers on the lawn not far from the door - pigeon feathers. One of the pigeons visiting met its end on this spring morning, likely taken by a hawk. Probably not the red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus) in this photo from July 2023, but most certainly a hawk.

You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.
