It's OK, Ann. A short while ago I posted an email in which I explained the hazy eyes. I wanted the eyes to be a bit more prominent so I lightened the dark eye sockets. I assumed that was causing doubt as to the reality of it's being alive. HA!! J Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 9, 2017, at 9:27 AM,

I kinda was serious... because the photo was so very very sharp and you mentioned being hard to fine in your bird book... since I was , myself, fooled by a faux owl , I thought it possible.. His eyes don't look quite real, which I guess is just the way the light was striking him. Glad to hear

Re: Peso-Haute Hawk ll

If it's the hazy eyes you're looking at, I lightened the dark eye sockets to bring out the pupils. J Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 9, 2017, at 8:13 AM, ann sanfedele wrote: > > Jack, I hate to say this, but unless you can confirm he got up and flew away > I would say the >

Yes, Ferruginous you attached looks likely. The example in my field guide is much darker. May be an issue of age and/or gender. J Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 9, 2017, at 6:00 AM, Alan C wrote: > > That view shows it better. No a Falcon. Possibly a Ferruginous Hawk: > >

Don't know if you're serious, but in case you are, I watched it sail in and land on the pole in addition to continuous head motion while I shot. J Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 9, 2017, at 8:13 AM, ann sanfedele wrote: > > Jack, I hate to say this, but unless you can

Jack, I hate to say this, but unless you can confirm he got up and flew away I would say the species is manmade... ann On 12/9/2017 8:13 AM, Paul Stenquist wrote: Excellent! On Dec 9, 2017, at 6:59 AM, Jack Davis wrote: Second view of Haute Hawk. I can't find a

Just a SWAG, but I think "Ferruginous Hawk"; light morph. On 12/9/2017 07:59, Jack Davis wrote: Second view of Haute Hawk. I can't find a definite match in my Bird Book. Ann..Help! Alan feels it may be a Falcon.(?) https://www.photo.net/photo/18442775 C? Thanks J -- Science - Questions

Nevertheless, it is a fine image, that stands on its own. I think I like it better than the first one. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Sat, Dec 9, 2017 at 8:29 AM, Jack Davis wrote: > Thanks, Dan. I can appreciate your > suggestions to

I'll continue to hope for positive identification. Maybe Ann's library of bird books will eventually settle the question..(?) J Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 9, 2017, at 6:00 AM, Alan C wrote: > > That view shows it better. No a Falcon. Possibly a Ferruginous Hawk: > >

That view shows it better. No a Falcon. Possibly a Ferruginous Hawk: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Ferruginous_Hawk/id# Alan C -Original Message- From: Jack Davis Sent: 9 December, 2017 2:59 PM To: PDML Subject: Peso-Haute Hawk ll Second view of Haute Hawk. I can't find a

Re: Peso-Haute Hawk ll

Thanks, Dan. I can appreciate your suggestions to "clean up" the scene, as was done with the original, but this was for Alan's consideration in determining whether it is a hawk or falcon. I still say, "Hawk." J Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 9, 2017, at 5:05 AM, Daniel J. Matyola

Re: Peso-Haute Hawk ll

Boy, he is staring you down there! I like the bird's pose, the overall composition, the details in the bird and the pole, and the stark blue sky. The wood, insulator and wiring on the upper right add to the scene, IMO, but the OoF wires and hardware on the left side are a bit distracting.
