OHbuckeye1 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I thought this was a neet picture, I am still trying to figure out exactly what type of bird this is, any one have any idea?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrswtnhunt Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I would guess some kind of Hawk. With the flat head and the placement of the eyes. Not sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predator Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 My guess - female cardinal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clrj3514 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 looks hawkish to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I'm leaning towards pigeon, brown thrasher or wood thrush. Kind of overexposed there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DU_man_84 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 red tail hawk id say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Kind of small for a redtailed hawk probably, and immature red tails have barred tail feathers in my experience, wings are not broad enough either. My guess would be that it is more likely a female cardinal looking at the colors, shape of the wings and the size of the bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be that it is more likely a female cardinal looking at the colors, shape of the wings and the size of the bird. Yep could be William. It's definitely not a hawk, bird is too small for that. Possibly a juvenile kestrel, but the face looks wrong for that. Cardinal is a good guess, but I think the beak is wrong for that. Female cardinals have a reddish, orangish beak; this bird appears to have a black beak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pic is kind of washed out, I really could not make out the color of the beak, aside from cardinal, really do not know. Don't think it is a dove.

Tominator Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Don't think it is a dove. I didn't say dove, I said pigeon. Tail, wings and beak match, but the size looks a little small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Looks like a redtail hawk at first glance but it's to small. It definately does look hawkish though. I really don't think that's a cardinal based on it's wing structure. Chris might be on to something with the Kestrel guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slughunter Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I would say a female cardinal. -shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
