Gilly said...: Do you know what sort of hawk? Your usual selection of good shots! What is that dead bird, looks like a starling to me?; March 13, 2014 at 6:34 AM
ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© said...: I've seen that hawk a number of times, hanging out on the light poles next to I-70. But he/she/it/hawk never lets me get close enough to get a shot that would help with identification.

I will guess Red-tailed hawk, based on behavior.

Jim H. said...: Red-tails are quite large, and have a broad tail feather span when flying. This one's tail seems narrower. Can't judge the size from the shot.; March 13, 2014 at 12:02 PM
Bob Scotney said...: I though I was the only one who shot (photographed) dead birds. That hawk is bigger than any we see in the UK.; March 14, 2014 at 10:33 AM

Still, that shrouded rear rotor on the helicopter is pretty sweet. US Coast Guard flies the Dolphin chopper, and you always know when one of those is headed your way.

Cool flying things indeed!; March 17, 2014 at 3:50 PM
