Need Help identifying this Hawk/Raptor ~ Vanity
Posted on 06/21/2015 6:09:41 PM PDT by GraceG
So across my street there is Hawk or big Raptor type bird that lives in a tree, well this spring it had some hatch-lings and now they are flying around the nearby house shrieking and raising a ruckus, think the momma bird tossed them out of the nest as they can now fly. Wondering if any freeples out there have any idea what sort bird this is, I managed to get some up close pics of them. I need a few questions answered.
1. Will they damage my property?
2. Will they kill the squirrels that actually do damage my property?
3. If #1 is no, and #2 is yes, is there anyway to entice them to stay?

Looks to me like a red-tailed hawk.

Pics a little blurry, but looks like a Peregrine Falcon to me.
If so, lucky you!

Swainsons hawk. Will eat rodents and grasshoppers, lizards, mice.
They’re migratory and no way to have them stick around long term.

Around here they are after the birds, never seen them bother a squirrel.

Youngsters, the mother is about 1.5X times as big

Those photos are pretty blurry. Maybe swampsniper would like a free roundtrip photo-shoot?

My sister's neighborhood was having problems with pigeons until kestrels came in and completely wiped them out. She's a new fan of kestrels. If I knew they were so good at killing pigeons, I would've introduced them to Norfolk, VA. That place is teeming with pigeons (a.k.a. flying rats).
To: GraceG
Is she the same color? Same markings?
