I saw it this morning!! One of them. After taking my friend to the airport I paid the spot a visit cause it was right next to there. It was sitting there sunning its wings like they do. I did not say "Bazinga" though, nor will I ever.

Oh man that's so cool!! Great shot of that Frigatebird. And that finch is about to lecture you about the dangers of birds eating bread I can tell :D

I'd really love to bird in Ecuador myself. Someone I know went and loved it. But I hate using guides but I'd have to.

them huge gigantic birds can eat a bread every now and then. if they scare you away and steal it. what can you do. but smalls can't afford to eat worthless poo poo. they're speedrunning life and especially the metabolism part

In the creation myth a story is told that the fruit tree rebelled against God who had designed the tree’s bark to be edible with the same taste of its fruit. Tree said no—for if my “bark is not different than my bite” my entirety will be devoured. Tree understood human nature and that humans could eat the goose and not preserve what lays the golden eggs. Shel Silverstein captures this dilemma in The Giving Tree.

There is a hawk living in my back yard. Its call is extremely grating and annoying and definitely announces that it is the dominant bird around the hood but I also keep seeing it getting into pissing matches with crows that it doesn’t seem to be winning. Please advise

It was interesting for sure. The story of those valiant Steelers smashing a Baltimore football team as an act of accidental heroism did get my AFCN blood boiling.

Crows will gently caress a hawk up.

Nothing much you can do. Sounds like a red-shouldered hawk or something their call can be real loud.

I mostly want to know if this hawk is all talk but actually a big wuss when it comes time to throw down. Today it was hanging out in a tree right above me when I was walking the dog. It squawked at me

They are fierce and their prey is right to fear them. But stuff like Crows, Blue Jays, Kingbirds, Mockingbirds etc aren't scared of them and will drive them bananas. They will squawk at people who get near their nest. I remember it scared me as a kid when it would happen. I thought they were gonna claw me with those talons! Maybe they would.
