KJS-LES

Sorry, that was a typo. 🙃

Thanks! Learned a new word (palagial).

Yes, thanks! It was my first guess, but wasn't sure because of the lack of color which I usually see with RT's.

NYC, Jan 22, 2021 (Too backlit for me) Thanks.

They look larger to me, maybe because they're "posture" is so different, they're so colorful. 🙂

Thanks all for the interesting information. There are Cooper's Hawks in this area, so I'd go with that too. (Red-tails are the most common here (lower Manhattan); occasionally, one will fly right by my 19th floor window. So where do Kestrels fit in on the size "scale"?

Amazing shots!

OK, thanks!

I've seen Crows dive bombing Red-Tails. This get-together still amazes me. I thought a Cooper's is larger than a Crow (and a Kestrel) and smaller than a Red-Tail, and darker. I have no idea what a Sharp-shinned looks like. 🙂

Thanks. It sure fooled me. It looked a lot smaller than the Red-tail Hawks I usually see. When near the pigeon flock, it didn't seem much larger.

Has anyone seen this? (I'm in NYC; photos from Nov 29, 2020) Kami

(NYC, 12/13/21, cloudy day) Hi, I think this is a Kestrel, but I don't recall seeing an the "eyebrow" on them. It was chasing pigeons, soon gave up. Thanks.

Thanks, esp. for the markings.

(NYC) This is from end of March 2020. I'm pretty sure it's a Song Sparrow, but it looks thinner/narrower than the ones I usually see. The first is untouched, the second is slightly enhanced. Thanks.

Noted, thanks!
