You can recognise individual buzzards by their beautiful 'mayoral chain'. According to my observations this guy's favourite food is worms.

Ho visto di nuovo la poiana!
Ieri, alla fine della mia solita corsetta (anche stavolta nella parte finale mentre defatigavo), atterra su un ramo di un albero. E la vedo fare la cacca.
Poi, chiaramente più leggera che pria, s’alza leggiadra e descrive un cerchio attorno a me. Evidentemente valutatomi non pericoloso –o non abbastanza gustoso– s'appollaia di nuovo non lontano da me.
E brava popoiana!

Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus)
January 31, 2024
John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge, Tinicum, Pennsylvania
This juvenile hawk has been spending the winter hunting in and around the meadows that surround the refuge's parking lot. I've seen it four separate days over several weeks, and often at the beginning and end of my walks.

today's mimic: zone-tailed hawk, buteo albonotatus
the zone-tailed hawk has been suggested to mimic turkey vultures, most obviously in their flight pattern: the hawks fly unusually with wings raised dihedrally, and will rock back and forth in a similar manner to turkey vultures. additionally, the silhouette and the shape of the flight feathers resemble a turkey vulture much more than other similar hawks. this is an example of aggressive mimicry, since turkey vultures rarely hunt animals, while the zone-tailed hawk is an active predator. its prey will be more likely to ignore the presence of the bird, believing it to be a harmless scavenger. the kettling behaviour of turkey vultures aids the zone-tailed hawk, as it can blend into large gatherings of vultures. although up close the two animals are very different, even experienced birders may have difficulty identifying a zone-tailed hawk from its deceitful silhouette and flight pattern.

This juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk was diving at ducks on the river, swooping back and forth on gusty fall breezes. He hasn’t yet grown in his iconic red tail feathers and sports a pattern of brown bars instead.
