mystery bird

[rogrod]

My wife took a picture of a bird in our back on top of a bluebird house. We haven't been able to figure it out. The picture was taken from about 100 yards away and our software doesn't zoom it very well. I can't figure out how to get it on this site with the hosting etc. Can I email it to someone and they post it? It is some kind of rapter that is as tall as the bluebird house (18 or so inches), all white on the brease and a grey brown head.

Here is the best I could come up with... one is zoomed, cropped and cleaned up as best I could and the other is the original just sharpened.

You can send it to me, too, if you like. Photoshop is my business. If you do, please send the original jpeg file with no alterations.

There's no way I can make it better than Buzz did. Too far away. My guess is a red-tailed hawk.

It could be a juvenile Meander. If that is what it is you will want to be very careful, they can carry off small children. Have a good one././Jimbo
