Sharp-shinned Hawk! Or maybe Cooper’s? Help me ID please 😊 He was pretty small, and his diving was one of the quietest and fastest I’ve seen! Shot on #Canon R5 + #Sigma 150-600C I used the 1.6x extra reach with in camera cropping! So these where shot at equivalent of 600x1.6 ~ 960mm. The lighting was not great because of the clouds. 1/1600sec at f/6.3, ISO 3200 Tags: #canonCanada #sigmaCanada #torontowildlife #ontariowildlife #birdsofprey #sharpshinnedhawk #coopershawk #hawk #winter #birdphotography #birdwatching #shotoncanon #shareyourweather #yourshotphotographer #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifeperfection #birdsofinstagram #birds_nature #backyardbirds (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnFJWy6uhLi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Egyptian Goose! This striking “goose” (in actuality more closely related to shelducks) is native to Africa, mainly the eastern and southern parts of the continent; it has also been introduced widely across Europe and parts of the U.S. (eBirds) Shot on #Canon R5 + #Sigma 150-600C Tags: #canoncanada #canonusa #sigmacanada #sigmalens #sigmaphoto #shotoncanon #yourshotphotographer #sanantonio #sanantoniotx #sanantoniotexas #birdsofinstagram #birdstagram #birdsphotography #birding #supertele #egyptiangoose #waterfowl #texaswildlife #travelgram (at San Antonio River At Brackenridge Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqUTEsBsUzY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Black Vulture! A popular in south. I’m posting all the wildlife I shot down in the States (if they look good!) so expect more “common” birds in my feed! Large raptor. Uniform black with silvery patches on undersides of wingtips. In flight, broad, rounded wings with distinct "fingers" are held flat like a board. Notice very short tail and small black head. Soars in flocks, often with other vultures and hawks. Flight style is distinctive; bat-like, strong snappy wingbeats followed by short glides. Look for them along highways eating roadkill, or picking through dumpsters.

Purple Martin! One of the most beautiful birds I have ever seen. They are large, dark, swallows, that exclusively live in Martin houses like the second photo! Low light didn’t help me with in flight shot attempts, so here’s Mr and Ms Martin, at their nest, watching me and my excitement curiously!
