Thanks for spotting the eagle and calling, B.J. Just 20 feet over the house doesn't happen too often.

Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea)Observer
ckhuntDescription
For my first-ever sighting of a Prothonotary Warbler, (not so common around here), I'd have preferred a more-natural setting than him perched on the windshield of my truck, apparently attracted to Vermont's yellow inspection sticker, but sometimes one doesn't get a choice.

Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus)Observer
ckhuntDescription
I initially thought it was Cooper's but it's almost the size of a Crow. A Blue Jay wasn't afraid to swoop in and try to drive it away. Another Red-shouldered was squawking, nearby. I believe this bird to be a juvenile and sibling in a local pair. Two days of rain and fog and limited hunting opportunities for predators, this hawk was just trying to dry out as the temperature rose before his day began.
