There have been a number of recent posts in this subreddit in which users were not following ethical bird photography practices. These posts have been removed by the moderation team so as not to perpetuate or encourage practices that cause harm and stress to birds of prey. Posts like these will continue to be removed at moderator discretion.
If you are a photographer, videographer, or birder, please familiarize yourself with ethical photography practices. A few especially relevant excerpts from the link:
Avoid causing unnecessary disturbance or stress to birds.
Nesting birds are particularly vulnerable and need extra consideration.
Never lure predatory birds (including but not limited to hawks, owls, eagles, and ospreys) with bait.
Show respect for private and public property, and consideration for other people.
When choosing to photograph/record video at a zoo, sanctuary, or rehabilitation center, make sure it’s properly accredited and conforms to best practices.
Be thoughtful about sharing and captioning your bird photos/videos, whether for print, online, or social media.
Remember, birds of prey are wild animals. They are not props for karma. They should be treated with respect. Researchers, rehabbers, falconers, and many others have proper licenses and permits to handle, display, and hunt with birds of prey, and if this describes your situation it's a good idea to state clearly that any handling of a bird in a photo was done with a permit, so as not to encourage unpermitted individuals to handle wild birds without one of those explicit purposes.
Thank you!

Is it a red-tailed hawk? There's some debate in the comments, but I figure you all would know.

Was taking pic of the hawk then the crow photobombed. Hawk wasn't even phased while the crow was being dramatic. Then they took to the sky to resume their battle.

I think the one is a young Bald Eagle. They were both on their "fishing rocks" on the Shenandoah River south of Charles Town, WV.

I’ve taken a photo of this bird 14 times…well…it’s probably the same bird. She was calling to another and the other came flying up…I adore hawks. Growing up in Georgia I have seen many over the years

The blue jay was mimicking. The Pileated was just singing away. And this absolute unit of a red shouldered hawk just sat there. This guy was massive and incredibly alert and curious.
