Took these a while back and never got around to posting them, ran across them again today and thought I'd see if someone could help me figure out what kind of bird/raptor this is, some photos are in a set, but there are a few more which aren't in set that show a second bird flying in around tree, assuming it's a parent bird but idk, this bird almost looks to be a hawk of some kind with no head feathers, or does to me anyway. Any help appreciated! Thanks Here is a link that might be useful: Mystery bird pics

First, the hawks flying around aren't after anyone's dog. They want to eat mice, voles, or small birds. It's not a concern. The bird under bush didn't "go there to die." It went there for protection, and because it could no longer fly. Hawks dont'go to someplace to die. They try to stay alive as safely as they can. When you can't fly, you have few alternatives to go to except under a protective bush (if you're a hawk). Most hawks die in their first year. Only one out of five (on average) is able to make it through the first winter. That's normal. Nature produces a lot more hawk offspring than can possible survive. Only the best do, and this specimen, sadly, was one that didn't make it. If the birds seen flying "around the neighborhood" are dashing through the trees, you have Cooper's hawks, searching for a feeder-drawn dickey bird for lunch. If the birds are large and circling above, they are probably red-tails.

The big birds are most likely Turkey or Black vultures; the hawk probably a Cooper's hawk. :)

Gee Jannaz my "new" machine is a 1956 Singer 319W. It is black and has levers and discs to do different stitches. I bought it from an ad in the paper for $50 and it is in a cabinet. There were only four discs with it and I think there should be 24. The lady called me today and said she found the other discs and also a box of accessories. It is really dirty. I will need to have it serviced but I think I am going to have fun with it. I dont sew very well or very much but I am eager to try all the different stitches.
