Not sure if these are juveniles or why they are hanging out in group like this. Have never seen raptors hangout together except maybe Harris hawks in Arizona. When I first drove up I thought they were doves or a robin due to size. Didn\'t have my binoculars so hard to pinpoint details but they appeared to have a vertical band across the eye & Maybe one horizontally also. Looks like a light/ pale beak & maybe white chin. Merlin or Kestril are my best guess. I have video of them calling back and forth to each other but can\'t load it on here 😭 |
