#Birds #Vulture #Hawk #Iowa

The theme on today's #DailyWalk was birds in flight. Turkey Vulture, Northern Flicker (probably), and a large hawk.

@donray See what you think after some photo editing...

I'm thinking Red-bellied🤔

@lfisk

Could be. We have a lot of those around here, and I see them a lot.

On the other hand, this bird seemed larger to me. This photo of the Northern Flicker from All About Birds seems similar to mine.

@donray The wings make me think hard about Flicker...

The head seems to have red on top with white below the red. Male Flicker only has a red patch on the back of its head, nape area🤔

@lfisk

I’ll have to go back (in time) and take a better photo 😆

@donray 😆
I hope you don't take my comments wrong😬 I just enjoy speculating with what I can gather from images. Not "being" there is a huge handicap for missing other obvious details...

@lfisk

No problem. That’s part of the fun.

I think I have seen that bird before over there by the pond. I might try a stealth approach the next time.

@donray Whew😌 I feel the same way👍
