It was lurking on the fence post peering in my neighbor's yard. Bev said it seemed to swoop in there after I snapped it.

Now you will have those suckers each year AND their offspring. :evil:
Hope you like cleaning bird poop!
Must admit that if I ever had swallows try to build on the house I would wreck the nest until they gave up and went and pooped in someone else's place.
edit. Oops, hit the wrong "quote" Was supposed to be the swallows. :embarrassed:
-
Those are hatchlings. Look at their beaks.

anyone know what kind of Hawk that is?
Red Hawk? Cooper's Hawk.

I think that is a common buzzard , probably the most common hawk .

Buzzards are hawks? Don't think so. Around here, buzzards are carrion specialists, whereas hawks prefer their prey on the hoof.

They are in the same genus , Buteo . All hawks will scavenge to some extent , and the common buzzard is also a raptor .

It's a red shouldered hawk - see the few red feathers on leading edge base of wing.

Turkey vulture (commonly known as buzzard) is genus Cathartes

Yes , different from a common buzzard .

Common buzzard (Buteo buteo) is not native to North America, nor to Oklahoma.
-
But what kind of owl in my video?

True , but neither are lots of other critters :laugh:

Barred owl.
They're the ones that make all the really spooky noises at night calling back and forth.
-
buzzards are not hawks. neither are owls. we have plenty of those around here too.
it might be a Red Hawk but I see no red. I've never heard of Swainson's Hawk. It does look like the photos as it also looks like a Cooper's Hawk.
and mentioning owls, I have one here that make really scary noises at night makes a "whoosh" when he soars through my back yard.

Well , according to the experts Cooper's hawks do like to hang out in the backyards of leafy subdivisions :laugh: I'm thinking you need a bigger bird feeder ...

Well.... There are Red Tailed Hawks and Red Shouldered Hawks. This is definitely a Red Shouldered. See the rust colored feathers leading edge of base of wing?
Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) is the common name for a common raptor of Europe and GB that is a hawk. What we in amurica call a buzzard is a turkey vulture and is, indeed, not a hawk. Confused yet?
-
OK. We're calling it:
Red Shouldered Hawk.
Thanks for your participation to help identify. (except for the guy that called it a "buzzard"- that really sux)

Well, actually it does resemble Buteo buteo - but we're not in Europe anymore, Toto - alas.

Yeah , and tell those big snakes in the Everglades they don't belong there either , time to go home :shocked:

OK, I get it. "European Buzzards" are Hawks and not Buzzards.
my apologies. Now I wonder if it was a red hawk or a euro buzzard on vacation?

ARTHUR: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin
or the plumber may seek warmer climes in winter yet these are not
strangers to our land.
Discuss.

I always honk at those when I see them perched on a road sign, most of the time they flip me the human :boozing:
-
I remember doing a job in an apartment overlooking Central Park and we would occasionally see a Red Tail hawk taking out pigeons in mid-flight.

Alas, it's getting harder for euro buzzards to travel to the US these days, with all the paranoia about immigration.
