I saw a photo DMT took of a hawk on the Roads Thread and asked him to post it here for an ID.
Thanks for posting Jody and DMT.
My guess on the first is Red tail...
DMT,, Can you zoom that in bit? Rough legged? Feriggonous?
I don't think it is a Red Tail.
Hawks and gulls....
EDIT
And crows,, Classic.
I grew up a few miles from there.
Probably 4 or 5 when they filmed it.

My guess on Jody's bird is Swainsons. Need better birders (especially with hawks) to offer details.

Bob - just got back. Still fighting jetlag. When do you arrive in CR? I've got a few short trips or meetings to go to in the next three weeks but am mostly free. Will look forward to getting together and birding. My phones and email are still the same so get in touch once you arrive
a few quickies from Australia
Galah. One of the most common and widespread birds in Ozy. Not too shabby for a trash bird. The parrots and cockatoos were out of this world.
Brown Falcon. A versatile bird of prey, with long legs and short, rounded wings for a falcon. We often saw them hanging out at the edges of brsuh fires waiting to pick off fleeing critters.
Crested Pigeons. Another family represented by some amazingly beautiful species, many with those iridescent panels in the wings as shown by this species.
Black-faced Woodswallow. Woodswallows were one of the 40 new familes of birds I got to know on this trip. Sort of half swallow, half kingbird and really social birds that like to perch together in close contact.

Hey Little Z, headed to Australia- east coast for 3 weeks.
Got any beta on birding?
We'll be in Sydney for a few days, then to the Blueys for a few more then headed up the coast.
thanks!

Wisdom is back!
"Biologists spotted the Laysan albatross called Wisdom at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge this month after she returned to the island to nest. The US Fish and Wildlife Service's project leader for the refuge, Bob Peyton, says Wisdom has been returning to Midway for over six decades. She is the world's oldest known breeding bird in the wild."
WOOT!!!!!!!!!!

heard a little bit of half hearted woodpecking in the yard, and was surprised to see an inverted suspect (nuthatch style), black and white with no red. couldn't trust myself on details so i came back with the camera. female white headed would be out of range here in north central az, but the habitat and behavior fits. first sighting for me, are they not so common?
where do i collect the worst picture award?

Hi Hooblie!
E-bird says White-headed Woodpecker virtually impossible for N. Az.
Your bird looks like a White-breasted Nuthatch to me.
Note the black fringe collar.
