Grey (White) Goshawk
Accipiter novaehollandiaeThis beauty had caught a baby rabbit that was on the ground below it.
These are not uncommon around here and about 2 km away is a creek named Whitehawk Creek.
I don't know why it was called that but assume due to the presence of these birds.
This beauty for some reason did a tight walk along the wire. I've a series of photos as it walked gingerly but cleverly along the wire.
No idea why it didn't just walk along the timber strut?
The Grey Goshawk is a medium-sized raptor (bird of prey), with two colour morphs (forms). The grey morph has a grey head and upperparts, with white underparts barred grey on the chest. The rounded wings are grey above, white below, and have darker wingtips. The medium length tail is grey above and white below, barred grey. The white morph is pure white all over and is often known as the White Goshawk.
Wow...a white goshawk! This is truly a gorgeous bird. I didn't even know they existed, Richard. This truly is a beautiful hawk. Very nice capture, for sure!
Nice scrub-jay shots, PinholeR5! I get a kick out of watching the jays and the mockingbirds play chasing games with each other in the trees along my street. It sure looks like they're having a good time.
Marvelous capture, Dave! Very nicely composed!
Super nice shot, Ed! That's an angry eagle, if I ever saw one.
Terrific shot of this wood duck, fotoi! Great pose and a beautiful setting.
Nice shot, Ed! It looks like this one has a bit of a kink in it's neck.
Gorgeous shot, Rob! Love the lighting.
