Saw two medium sized dark birds with black circles around the eyes and with a beautiful song. I live outside of Dubuque in the country. Any idea what they are?

I live on the SE side of Cedar Rapids. There's a bird I see quite often in my yard that I can't identify. It's mostly gray with black on it's head. The tail fans out somewhat It has a very annoying call. Does anyone know who my noisy neighbor is? Thanks

I live on the sw side of Cedar Rapids and I saw a bird with no feathers but fur, and it flies like a bat but in the day time. Other birds in the area runaway from it. It has a blue back and blackened face its wings barley allow it to fly but to glide. it never lands on the ground, only in trees and i saw one take off from an upside down position. Anyone know what it is?

I happened upon this site when hunting for information about the types of hawks in Iowa. The photos are wonderful as well as the information listed with each one. Thank you for sharing these - they are beautiful and informative!

My daughter and I were sitting in my car in her driveway and a Sharp Shinned Hawk landed right outside the driver's door on the grass. Amazing. Was able to identify it by the photo on this site. Thanks.

I really appreciated these photos--good job people! But I see several not posted that I see in my own backyard--so I guess I'll have to get my camera out and add to this cool site. Thanks for the effort in putting this together!

My husband and I were fishing at a county pond about 7 miles north of Chariton. I opted to bank fish for a while and he sat in a chair with our Schnauzer. All of a sudden we heard a noise that sounded like a small helicopter. I looked up in the tree and there was a HUGE bird landing in the tree, different shades of brown and white with a very long neck. I had never seen anything like it before. I thought I would have a lot of trouble finding out what it was but this website was the first place I looked and ther it was, an American Bittern. It truly was a beautiful and awesome bird!
