I'm on a kick with these Eastern Kingbird and Bald Eagle photos. I imagine this is like landing a helicopter on a jumbo jet in flight. 🪶 #Raptors
Ta-da! Our local resident female Red-Tailed Hawk, Amelia, scores a 10 on her landing at the top of a tree. This tiny stick is one of her favorite perches. 🪶 #Raptors
This is the first time I've actually seen the yellow crowns of Eastern Kingbirds. On this day, they chased a juvenile Bald Eagle out of their nest tree, biting at its head and face as it flew. Poor guy was just looking for a place to perch! 🪶 #Raptors

Here's another shot of the juvenile Bald Eagle I posted previously. This was taken in dark conditions during a rain storm, but I'm happy that the bird flew over me so I could get a good look. 🪶 #Raptors

It was a lovely day to watch the World Cup final on Governors Island. 🇪🇸
The heat recent wave affects our wildlife just as it does us. These two juvenile Red-Tailed Hawks took the opportunity to cool themselves in a puddle in our local park. 🪶 #Raptors

Finding an affordable space with a view is nearly impossible in NYC, but here we have a pair of Ospreys who have nabbed a place with a view of the Manhattan Bridge for free! Located along the East River, they have easy access to fish and ferry service. 😅🪶 #Raptors
