I found this "name the raptors" game. I don't know the answers, but they are or will be posted on Birding In Spain Blog

Cool thread & pics but technically crows/ravens arent included in the generalized category of raptors or birds of prey.

Yes, I know, but raptors are welcome here too.

Like these ones...http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kv...kt07o1_500.jpg

The title of this thread threw me off, just ignore me. I'm easily confused.

Beautiful owls BTW, I collect all things eagle related so I have an affinity for raptors.

My fault; the title was poorly composed. I just haven't gotten around to fixing it yet.

You don't have to fix what's not broken. I was gonna tell him not to get so pecky, but then I went to the dictionary, & somewhere between ravening & raptorial, strigiform & falconiform, I realized I shouldn't...

Not a big deal, the title is fine, I am too pecky.

I've always loved crows.
Also called Eksters, or Magpies.

sal magpie; didn't he used to pitch for the giants?

Thank you Honesty, for posting the magpie. I used to live in Alberta and magpie's where everywhere (there are none in Nova Scotia), but I could never get a good picture of one. They're so beautiful in flight, with the blue in their wing feathers. I forgot how much I admire them.

The crow tree behind my apt building. I wish I could get a closer shot.

I came across this one recently as I was at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump in Alberta, Canada ...i.e., playing "where in the world am I?"

Crows do not get along with birds of prey, such as hawks, owls, and eagles. They will gather together to mob these birds if they can. Mobbing includes dive bombing, chasing, and harassing.

I love the birds in flight posts...thanks ring and BadNick.

Most welcome.

Owls are so majestic in flight. I wish there were more around here to deplete the squirrel population a bit. I should see if I can get one to roost over my garage.

Coincidentally, I found the above pic in a link in one of Jetee's threads, the one about coincidences.

haha this was widely spread around base right before the Air Force - Navy game
