Excellent, David. I don't often see a few of the birds shown here, but you've given me a pretty good foundation to recognize them if I ever do see them.

This was great! And, except for the first one (not too familiar with kestrels) I got them all and that was because of your patient tutoring during the spring migration! So, thank you!!!

love this , thanks!

I enjoy these very insightful videos, thanks for keeping them going even after the hawkwatch. If you are looking for more topics, I would be interested in a video pointing out what Accipiters, Buteos, etc are. Many people use those to give descriptions, but I am not familiar with how to classify them easily into those families.

Really great video, I've been seeing a all white breasted Hawk, I think, with a orange head and brown back, every time I try to get a good photo from over 150 yds , he takes off, don't think it's a Red Tail young one as to early in the spring, March 28 today, Coopers ? the pure white breast with orange or rust colored head has me puzzled, Oh and in western Michigan, also have many Red Tails around all the time, farm type area, with muck fields , lake and low lands. Any more info you might need just let me know, have a few pictures but not very good ones, most time I see him he's sitting then he's off when he see me at over 150 yd. Any help??? 👍👍👍👍 Reply

Can you go over specifically falcons next time? Thanks!

[@GMBYan]

Thank you…can you also do a talk on juvenile raptors and how to tell them apart?

[@LycoBirds]

I have a video on distinguishing between juvenile red-tails, red-shoulders, and broad-wings: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5mXm4Wqq7iEZrs I'll consider making a video that covers more species. Thanks for the suggestion.
