This was taken with my wifes iphone so the quality is bad.

We think that we know what this bird is, but looking for some help identifying for sure.

Maybe Golden Eagle? I didn't think they went that far south, though. Hard to tell w/ the IQ

Dang. Way too small for a Golden...Looks like one of the smaller hawks, but the breast and tail are all obscured, so any of the marks I'd use to ID aren't visible :(

I thought it might be a marsh hawk, but I'm no expert.

This is a hawk that was hit by a car on our street last year. I can't really tell if it's the same bird or not.

I found a dead duck in my yard that had a neck wound...I imagine a hawk did it but didn't see it happen.

that bird seems to have spurs like a fighting chicken - how did it meet its end?

Just a rooster from the coop. We had three before Fluffy was killed by the bird in the picture.

My chickens stay in a fenced coop at night, but free range during the day. Never had a problem before.

Another guy called our DNR and he stayed with it. I never heard the outcome.

We have had a few ibis killed by red shouldered hawks here. Not that unusual an occurence here in Florida. Not much fun finding a dead and putrified one in your bushes however.

is there any chance that this can be a juvenile bald eagle?
