Osprey with brunch
This osprey and a few others recently discovered the fish ladder in a town near where I live. This one caught a big bottom feeder late morning yesterday.

Witnessed this Long Crested Eagle ripping the head of a mouse and then swallowing the rest of the body in one go. XT5 & 150-600
I experimented a bit more with the editing than I usually do to try make the bland background a little more interesting

Juvenile Cooper’s hawk in Sacramento?
Found two different Juvenile Cooper’s hawks (I’m assuming) in Midtown Sacramento CA. Can anyone confirm my ID or say otherwise?

Eagle (?) in Southern Spain
Saw this bird in flight across some recently harvested fields near Granada. The only eagles listed locally are the Golden, Bonelli’s, Spanish, booted and Short-toed. Any thoughts?

Red shouldered hawk
He was very patient with me taking photos but kept an eye what prey he tried to spot

Who are these feathers from?
My key fob is next to them for size comparison.
I’m in Toronto, Canada.

Not 100% but I believe this was one of the parents bringing the juvenile food. It happened so quickly and the last few photos are 2 houses down - so not as crisp due to an older camera/telephoto lens.
