A young Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) on the snow-covered surface of a frozen lake, surrounded by the messy remnants of its prey like the final scene of a horror film for #BirdOfTheDay #FrightfulFeathers
Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) juvenile, standing in snow on a frozen lake surface, surrounded by the remains of the bird it is eating (probably a Rock Dove). The Goshawk has its back to us but is peering over its shoulder in our direction.

Cooper's hawk (Astur cooperii) is a medium-sized hawk native to the North American continent and found from southern Canada to Mexico. This species was formerly placed in the genus Accipiter.
As in many birds of prey, the male is smaller than the female en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooper%...

Throwback to Carpathians today. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIPSnips
A week later, Feyis found himself relieved from construction duty at last. The camp had grown by the day as contractors cycled awake on the orbiting Accipiter. A steady stream of gear, building materials, and personnel drop-shipped down, temporary shelters gave way to permanent facilities, and soon they’d install a nano-weaving facility of their own. The outpost would become a colony, capable of sustaining itself indefinitely. But first, they needed to know whether the air was safe to breathe, and Feyis had drawn the assignment of flying the pathogen surveys. The latest drop-ship from Accipiter brought the bio-team that would perform a detailed sweep of surviving indigenous lifeforms. A full lab had been constructed to support them, in which vat-grown human tissue would be subjected to whatever this planet had to offer, a sort of macabre decontamination procedure run in reverse.

A lovely coffee-break bonus whilst confined to barracks on a stormy day in East Yorkshire, This male Eurasian Sparrowhawk Accipiter nisus provided a welcome distraction, as I photographed it through the weather-splattered kitchen window.

A photo of a juvenile Cooper's hawk (Accipiter cooperii) perched on the rim of a metal water dish, gripping the edge with bright yellow talons. Its wet plumage is fluffed and disheveled, with its banded tail trailing down and its yellow eye fixed alertly to the right side of the frame. A photo of a juvenile Cooper's hawk (Accipiter cooperii) bathing in a metal dog bowl, its banded tail fanned upward and forward over its back. Water droplets fly off its wet, streaked brown-and-white plumage, and its pale yellow eye and yellow cere stand out against its dark cap.

Juvenile Cooper's hawk that took an extended bath in the water bowl just outside the kitchen door, making things easy for once. You can see the door faintly reflected in its eye. #BirdOfTheDay #Juveniles #eck

A photo of a juvenile Cooper's hawk (Accipiter cooperii) in profile with its beak open, feathers soaked from bathing. It's a medium-sized raptor with pale yellow eyes and a yellow cere framing a dark hooked beak, along with streaked brown and white chest feathers and a mottled dark brown back. Water beads cling to its plumage against a blurred earth-toned background.

A juvenile sharp-shinned hawk (Accipiter striatus) and its victim. Photo taken in the Rio Grande Bosque in Albuquerque, New Mexico on October 22, 2026.

#nature #naturephotography #birds
A small hawk perched on a thick horizontal branch, with one foot pinning down the mangled remains of what may have been a house sparrow. The hawk is facing somewhat away from the camera, with its tail to the lower right and it's head to the upper left. The head is turned slightly toward the camera, placing it in profile. The head is covered with gray and brown and whie streaks, with a yellow eye with a large black pupil. The beak is short, light at the base, dark at the sharp, downcurved end. The visible folded wing is mostly dark brown, with a few white spots. The tail is banded gray and dark gray, white at the tip. The visible undertail coverts are white. The visible belly and "pantaloons" are white with vague, broad brown streaks. The dull yellow shins look thin compared to the rest of the bird. The toes are the same color, and end in black claws. The background for this image isn't ideal, consisting of a confusing mix of branches and leaves.

🇧🇷Tauató-pintado
🌎Accipiter poliogaster
Conservação: Quase Ameaçada

O tauató-pintado é um accipitriforme da família Accipitridae. Conhecido também como tanatam-pintado, tauató, tauatotinga, tauató-pinima, gavião-do-pinheiro, gavião-mateiro.

📷 Luiz Ribenboim
Uma ave de rapina de porte médio está pousada em um galho inclinado, coberto por musgo, em uma floresta densa. A ave apresenta uma plumagem dorsal em tons de cinza-escuro quase preto, que contrasta com a face escura e uma área ventral branca que se estende do peito ao abdômen. Seus olhos são grandes e de cor amarelo-intenso, rodeados por uma pele nua e alaranjada que conecta a base do bico aos olhos. O bico é curto, curvo e de coloração acinzentada na ponta, escurecendo na base. Suas garras, amareladas, prendem-se firmemente ao tronco musgoso. A postura é atenta, com o corpo orientado lateralmente, mantendo a cabeça virada para a esquerda. O plano de fundo é composto por uma vegetação verde e desfocada, ressaltando o tronco de árvore texturizado e a silhueta nítida da ave. Atenção: O alt da imagem foi gerado automaticamente.

Here's the iNaturalist observation that I got the sharp-shinned hawk's grumpy look from. It's a photo by gibbous_jedda in the North Carolina Appalachians of a hawk in the hand that's just been banded.
