Richard, those are predominantly red-tailed hawks.

Does anyone know what the raptors are that sit on the light posts by the cities freeways? They have mostly white breasts and darker wings and head. I know that dosn't narrow it down that much. There is almost always one or more on one of the posts along 35W if trveling from Burnsville to Downtown Mpls. they seem to be hunting the ditches along the freeway.

Hi Guy, Wonderfull raptor pics. From my experience this kind of picture is most dificult to catch but you have done it My closest contact with the raptor breed is a Coopers Hawk that comes to my feeder for lunch and he's not a vegitarian :-) jack

This site is wonderful. I came to it in search of birds I saw tonight along Hwy 13 in Mendota Heights. They were high up in the trees and appeared to be roughly two feet tall, dark feathers but the heads were red? Thank you once again for the photos you do have!

Guy, you know I couldn't resist looking at the bird shots. Love going to the raptor center and checking out all the good work they do. Extremely detailed, awesome shots!! I'd like to use the staring eagle as a screen saver if you don't mind.
