Hawk in my backyard (lemmy.autism.place)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

My dog was growling at the backyard. I went to go check, and the hawk was back there smacking something in the grass with its foot. I didn't see what they were getting at, but they hung around for a little while scoping out the rest of the backyard.

I originally thought it was a Cooper's hawk, but now I'm unsure. This was in Florida. Please let me know if anyone can identify it.

Is this the same kind? Was in my peach tree yesterday, NM

I might have been mistaken. I compared their legs using the photos on this site. It looks like yours might actually be a true Cooper's hawk. Mine seems more like a red-tailed hawk. I'm uncertain though. Let all look too similar to me.
