The pics thread

Is that a hawk or a kite?
Hawk. He was in the screened-in porch at a house I help watch over when the home owners are away. I don't know how long he'd been stuck in there, he crashed into one of the screens and ripped right through it and couldn't get out! Had to open the door for him from the inside. Was expecting a Hitchcockian scenario but he wasn't aggressive and just flew to the other side of the porch. Gave me quite the jolt this morning though, that I can tell you.

i'm a fairly experienced birdwatcher and have ticked nearly 300 species of british bird on my autistic life list. i don't know shit about non-european birds though, that's a whole other can of worms

Maybe this the wrong place to ask but how to you get a personal picture under your name? Thank you.
