I don't know. But been seeing the ospreys here taking some pretty big fish from the water, at least 3 lb fish.

I can tell you they like to soar, then will do a power dive from 400ft to hit their target. There is a pair of them and they have driven off the redtail from the saguaro hill. They are a bit shy and very quick, so hard to get a really good picture. I'll keep trying.

I've seen ospreys and it isn't that. We thought it might be a black shouldered kite, but this is sort of out of their range. Still trying to figure it out....

We have been watching the pair which are close to redtail hawk size. Actually they drove off the redtails. We are thinking they are Northern Harriers at the moment. They don't hang around all that long usually and I haven't had my binoculars along.

Got to see an immature Bald Eagle when I pulled in at the work site this morning. Great way to start the new week. :)

The rough shouldered hawks and the red tails are constantly sparring for territory here.  Currently the red tails appear to rule the sky - that is until the bald eagles decide to make an appearance.

I hear a red tail once in awhile when out on a block, he/she screeches as he sores in a circle. There are a couple places along roads where I also see a hawk most every time I drive bye, so I assume a nest is near.

I came upon a goshawk today sitting on the road. There are lots of rabbits and partridge this year along the roads, the goshawks like to fly the road corridors.

Osprey here are almost pets, they nest on platforms people erect along the river and power lines.

Haven't seen too many of them yet. More after Thanksgiving and another large flock following Christmas/New Year's. fly_smiley super-smiley

Had a grouse hit a window in the laundry room yesterday, same one they broke at this time of the year last year.  Both survived, this one at least didn't break it this time.  Must have something to do with them moving down the mountains this time of the year.

There was a odd looking bird flying around the yard today sometimes being chased by a flock of crows, It was quite far away so the pictures could be better. The best guess I could come up with is a mostly white red-tailed hawk.

Nothing to compare the size with, but it looks like an Osprey to me!

When I google "white red tail hawk" and click on images I get quite a few pictures the look very similar, The tail feathers are about the same colour as a regular red tailed hawk.

Osprey don't winter up north here. Frozen water is hard to fish in with talons and feathers. :D

It doesn't look familiar to me. We have lots of Osprey around here and it doesn't look like ours.
