Katelyn Davis Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 These recordings are from today in WNY. I’ve been hearing/seeing this bird for about a month now at sunset. It’s too hard to make out what it is because of the light level but today I finally got some recordings. I thought it matched a Merlin based on the frequency of the call but the pitch doesn’t match. There were two smaller birds (what I assume to be the ones calling) and one that was a little larger. They would sit at the top of a pine tree and then all fly off and call together.

Jac Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I couldn't get a closeup, but if this video comes through, do you recognize the flight? It is of a “boil” of 6 flying in southern NH. The underside of wings in white as well as part of the tail, so sharped shinned hawk? Your identifier led me to red-shouldered hawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Your post will get more responses if you make a new topic. My guess is broad-winged, but I honestly am having a hard time ruling out turkey vulture from the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, sometimes birding is like that. Yeah :/ I will continue looking for it and bring my binoculars next time so I can actually identify it.
