Through the mist and frosty air : the mills of Kinderdijk on a cold February morning, Zuid Holland, The Netherlands
I spotted and photographed this bird in a local willow tree today down by our village lake and I have temporarily named this little guy Hawkeye, but I am unsure exactly what it is. The colouring is mostly accurate, but on the wing area, there was an out of focus leaf or twig much closer to the camera that has given it an apparent yellowish tint on the shoulder. It was very tricky to catch an uninterrupted view through all the twigs and branches. I have managed to narrow it down to either a Brown Goshawk, or maybe a Collared Sparrowhawk. I'm leaning towards the Collared Sparrowhawk for now. Apparently the plumage and colouring on these two birds is remarkably similar, but one is much bigger than the other. This seemed fairly small to my eye, For my fellow Aussie birders, it was maybe a similar size to a rosella - perhaps even slightly smaller. Very hard to tell. Any help with ID much appreciated! Either way, this is one for me to tick off my list of unseen birds as I haven't spotted either of them before.
(Now confirmed as a Collared Sparrowhawk - many thanks to all those who chipped in!)
Photo taken at the weekend of this amazing wild juvenile Goshawk just look at the intensity of those eyes. (Thanks for viewing my photos)
Cooper's Hawk, Glendale, Missouri. I'd prefer a more natural perch for this guy, but I like the glowing orange eye and the background isn't bad...
I ran across this Hawk just after finding the Great Horned Owl. I don't think it's a Red Tailed hawk, maybe a Red Shouldered. Any help?

Whilst Q198 did their thing at Joliet Yard, an eastbound IAIS decided to pay a visit with a classic GEVO/SD38-2 pair up front. The right sources kept me up in the action without missing a beat. UD Tower, Joliet IL.
Sparrowhawk in our garden, the image is a bit soft as it was shot through a double glazed patio door. I grabbed this first then slowly started opening the door but it must have seen me & flew away :(

The Hawkeye Band @ The Serious Plein Party.
Serious Request is a family of annual multi-day, multimedia fundraising events for International Red Cross initiatives, typically hosted by radio stations in the week before Christmas. The project was begun in 2004 by Dutch public pop music radio station 3FM. Serious Request projects have since been adopted in Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, Kenya, South Korea, Austria, Latvia and Portugal.
During the Dutch 3FM Serious Request, three popular radio DJs are locked up for six days in a small temporary radio studio (the "Glass House"), placed in a main square in a different city each year. Living on a juice-only fast, the DJs make an interactive, themed broadcast around the clock, while regular programming on the station is suspended. Instead 3FM and its website are completely dedicated to the event, which is also transmitted as a continuous audio and video live-stream. Additionally there is television coverage, integration with social media, and a dedicated mobile app.
Funds are raised in a few different ways. While the DJs are in residence, they play songs requested by listeners and visitors, in return for their donations. Celebrities and artists also donate personal possessions or performances, which are auctioned off. Straightforward donations are made into the project's bank-account, and by physical visitors depositing cash and cheques into the house's letterbox. Additionally, members of the public run a variety of supporting initiatives, and in some cities more glass houses are popping up.
In the Netherlands the Serious Request broadcasts and the Glass House have become a national December tradition,that reaches most of the national population.
