While helping some folks w/a tricky winter accipitrine hawk ID, I collaged some of my best scrunched up, cold-weather adult male Cooper's Hawk! So cute and deceivingly similar to Sharpies! #raptorid #birdid #birding 🪶

What bird am I? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌍 #WhatBird #BirdID | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜
"I am a large and striking East African bird often described as looking like a cross between a vulture and a peacock. I am known for my bare, blue-grey neck and head, which is why I was given my common name. Unlike my relatives, I do not have a bony casque on my head. Instead, you'll recognize me by my dramatic, long, blue and white streaked hackles that resemble a feathered cape flowing over my body."

What bird am I? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌍 #WhatBird #BirdID | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜
"I am a small, brown, streaky bird, widely distributed across the Palearctic. I am known for my distinctive "parachuting" display flight and thin, high-pitched "tsi-tsi" call. In winter, I am a common sight on coastal marshes and mudflats, but in summer, you can find me on open moorlands and rough grasslands where I often host the eggs of the Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus). What bird am I?" Gemini 3 (Edited) 📷: Photo by karsten_madsen via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/users/karsten_madsen-5078745/

Withdrawal symptoms at the mo, so here's a compendium of Caspian Gulls from November. Easterly winds helped bump numbers up at Cley but breeding success across western Europe is also key to the high turnover & overall increase in numbers. Winter numbers never been so high. #NorfolkBirding #cleybirds

What bird am I? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌎 #WhatBird #BirdID | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜
"I am an unmistakable seabird found along the coasts of Chile, Peru and Ecuador. My most striking features are the long, white 'mustache' feathers that curl back from the base of my bill. My plumage is primarily a dark, sooty gray, and my bill and feet are a bright, deep red. What bird am I?"
