But I like birds of prey very much, too. Right after Herons. You really made me happy with your pictures, BTW. Bluff’s my name… But I like birds of prey very much, too. Right after Herons.

You know much more about birds than I do, but I do find them beautiful, especially birds of prey. Yep, that’s him! :) The red-shouldered hawk.

This would be a red-shouldered hawk, no? Mind you, I only googled "red-shouldered", I hate Bruce Willis and his films :evil: and would prefer not to guess it... Oh, I see.

It was taken from afar with a powerful lens and without a tripod. So here comes another hint... the name includes a reference to a part that joins the wing with the body, dyed with colour associated with communism and the bird's family is used in the name of the wind blowing hard on Hudson River as noted in the movie starring Bruce Willis.

Then, it is not very vividly colored (I don't mean the lack of light) - no big contrasts or bold stripes, so it is difficult to know whether it is an adult male (mostly the more colorful sex) or a chick (less colorful - needs to survive). And if it were a chick, it could be quite difficult to google it, since Google & Co. prefer colorful pics. Well, it’s a no go then. :-)

Not a merlin. Hint: again, the name includes a reference to colour.
