Would rather have some onion rings.

I got to know Elvira a long time ago. She was really nice.

Thanks for the insight[:)], She does seem like a good person, a great sense of humor.

Because her sense of humor is up front all the time? [8D]

The Inner is more important than the Outer. Although, Outies are nice.

Today is a count day for me for Cornell's Feederwatch project. I had this bird hanging around for several hours, which meant there were no birds to count at my feeders.

[geofflambert]

It was perching here and there, and walking around on the ground, so there were no squirrels either.

[geofflambert]

I thought at first, because of it's size, that it was a Sharp-Shinned hawk, but this pic leads me to believe it is a juvenile or adult male Cooper's hawk. They don't want me to report anything I'm not sure about but this pic leaves me little doubt.

[geofflambert]

I did get a male Downy Woodpecker, though.

Yo, Geoff:

Any idea what this is? I think an eagle but can't say more. Even though it was high in the try it swooped out when I tried to get closer for a better picture.

[geofflambert]

Well, since Argleton is a fake place, this must be a fake bird. Fake news!

[geofflambert]

Where are you, George? That would help narrow it down some.

[geofflambert]

If you're in the US it is neither a golden or an immature bald. So hawk or buzzard.

[geofflambert]

It could be a Cooper's or a Red-Tail. Red-Tails are as big as Bald Eagles. Here's a juvenile:

I'm sitting in the bedroom we use for an office.

I'm pretty sure we have both of those around here. I have seen various falcons and hawks here, but none (when perched) looked as big in the body as this bird did.

Near Prescott Valley, AZ.

And definitely not a buzzard, seen plenty here.

Buzzard is kind of a generic name meaning hawk. Vultures are not buzzards. With hawks, the females can be much larger than the males. So my guess is either a female Cooper's or a female Red-Tail. Full grown Red-Tails don't tend to have that much light colored feathers on the breast so my best guess is a female Cooper's.

Thanks.

BTW I've only ever heard buzzard used to refer to vultures.
