Was it doing its thing bobbing the head? I had a bunch coming to the feeder and they did that all the time, apparently trying to scare other birds. It didn't work.

Lost racing pigeon that I rescued in waldwick. Found it just walking around aimlessly while doing some work. Was able to grab it and drop it off at the animal hospital down the street and they were able to find out its details from the tags. Turns out it was from Perth amboy and the secretary of the racing club picked it up yesterday. Very pretty bird !

That would a great ad if they ever did a remake of Hitchcock’s The Birds. Like a modern take on it. With all the remakes these days they could do a lot with that film with modern technology

Saw six turkeys on my dusk ride last night. As I approached them I couldn’t really tell what they were (due to distance and available light). I could just see multiple critter movement and first thought coyote. They stuck to the trail and as I tried to close the gap two finally took to the air...
Got some pics of a hawk release at the nature preserve I walk at every day near my office.
Jeanne Gural, Executive Director of Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge releases a rehabilitated Red-Tailed Hawk back in to the wild at Palmyra Nature Cove.
Sitting behind me are like 75 school children. Everyone thought I was the press lol.

Saw these two guys just sunning themselves atop these utility poles.
It was weird, they were stock still even as we approached, only moving once the wonderpup started barking his fool head off.
Those are some big chickuns!

I don't know which hawk this is, but it was on the disc golf course bridge at Chimney Rock rail when I rode across today. He (?) took off about 3 feet from my left elbow. Tail ATB less copper than a Red Tail Hawk and bigger black speckles on the white thorax.
Very big and majestic when he flew north, low along the ground west, away from that bridge.

I'm going with Red Tail Hawk, based on its size and speckled brown on its front. This article helps you nail it.

@seanrunnette can tell you
It's an immature Red Tail. They don't get the red on the tail feathers until after their first year IIRC. Great shot, and even better getting the fly-by. They're amazing birds.

That's what they use to get the red coloring on the spicy chicken.
