Wow! Two hawks in the birdbath!
those beaks don't look like raptors'. it's hard to tell what species.
my first impression was mourning doves, because shape, colour, and beaks.
but the screen could be obscuring too much.
@holon42 These things are twice as big as doves, and every bird near the feeders skedaddles when they hop by.
oh, they fly away completely, or just make room?
if they're that big, then i don't know. it's the beaks that puzzle me, but, as i said, maybe the screen is obscuring the actual shape.
@holon42 I'll try to get you a better picture.
right. definitely a hawk, big beautiful birdbath. looks like a cooper's. lovely bird.
@holon42 Yeah, I think you are seeing a shadow in a rock behind the bird; the actual beak is pointed toward the camera, so you can't see the hook.
@Boyceaz
they also don't have that raptor gaze, but again the screen.
i do get some pretty large doves in my garden, sizes vary considerably. the older ones can be quite large.
anyway, it's lovely to see birds bathing and drinking, whoever they are😍
