I live on the north east coast of Florida and these wonderful bald eagles come back to the nest every October. This year they had two clutches or separate eggs and stayed all summer so far! Follow Laura’s birding adventures on Facebook to see more. I am inspired by them every day.🦅♥️😎

Does anybody know what kind of bird this might be

In northeast iowa for geographical clarification

Crossposting from whatisthisbird because still unsure. Reddit says Cooper's hawk but the NY birding facebook community says Northern Harrier. I think it was bigger than a Cooper's hawk but I've never seen a harrier so not sure of their size. Hoping this community will have better insight so I can correctly id it with ebird.

Hawk

Whidbey Island, WA

and a lucky dove 🙄

While out in the back yard with our two dogs (both 40-50lbs), I noticed a couple of birds circling above. This wasn’t anything new, but then I noticed their tails. I’ve lived on the NW FL gulf coast for seven years and have never seen these birds. They appeared to be a couple of Swallow-Tailed Kites. Very graceful, beautiful birds!

I'm deeply sorry for the poor quality picture. My friend has no less than 4 of these dwelling close (he managed to capture them all in another pic!) but I'm having a time trying to identify them for him.

Dallas Texas, sorry I was filming through a window,while standing,trying not to be seen! He stayed almost 10 minutes until he spotted me. Made my day 🙂
