Parky60,

when two "christians" fight each other, I stay away,

HIS ways are not our ways.

Thanks for posting this. I think your neighbor is right. It is definitely a young bird but that second photo definitely looks like a hawk and not a falcon due to the width of the tail. The spots on the chest in the first pic are what confused me. I think it is most likely an immature red-tailed hawk, possibly a fan-tail or maybe even a red-shouldered hawk. Tough to identify immature birds, especially when you're not an expert (I am not). I used to work w/ a friend who was a master falconer who could identify a bird from far off just by the way it flapped it's wings. Some of it rubbed off on me but not enough I guess. Frustrating to me that I can't definitively identify this bird but hey... bottom line is when you live in a place where a raptor lands on your deck, you live in a very cool place. Thanks again. Very cool.

There is a red tailed hawk that follows us as we walk a certain section of a park. He flies ahead tree to tree ahead of us, acting surprised that we caught up with him and then flies on to the next tree.
I love birds. Geese and swans can get aggressive though.

A few years ago there were several instances on the Purdue campus of people being attacked by red-tailed hawks. It happened numerous times over a year or so. I don't know if they ever figured out why the birds do that, probably as a protective measure.

We get attacked by geese in the spring. We carry big sticks. A few times I've had to make contact with an aggressive male. One attacked my wife. He quickly retreated after a good swipe of my stick.

What about all those birds that just dropped out of the sky a couple years back was there ever an explanation as to what made that happen???

A few years ago, we had geese by the hundreds walking around by our pond. We live in a condo and I like to fish in the pond occasionally and goose poop every few feet is not too pleasant, not to mention somewhat of a health hazard. They would occasionally go after someone. I started chasing them away with my pellet gun until I accidentally got a little too close to one. I didn't want to be jailed by the Fish & Wildlife Service so I bought a green laser. That did the trick. We haven't had a goose land here in over a year although they frequent every one pond in the area. You just have to exercise care not to get too wild with shining it in windows across the pond.
I guess we're straying a bit far from the subject at hand.

Omigosh if you look this up, Arkansas 2011, Australia 2017, Arizona 2019 and many more. Not one had a reasonable explanation, either. Or rather nothing that made much sense. I've seen an article recently that says birds have a sort of "quantum radar, or sense" (the article's words) and maybe things happen to disrupt this via radio or microwaves, or something similar? I don't know, but it's going on my list of things to read up on.
