Ah, very nice! I have a flock of feral Nanday Parakeets in my area and thought I recognised one :)

Is Loki a nanday parakeet?

The lower-down bird is definitely a red tailed hawk. The one above looks good for young cooper.

I was out looking for deathstalkers but found this scorpion. I think it's a Black Judean but I'm not good at scorpion ID (I'm a birder).

#birds Juvenile Cooper's Hawk* surveys the land. Did you know that only 22% of juvenile Cooper's Hawks survive their first winter? ๐Ÿ˜ญ

*: I am 95% sure this is a Cooper on patterning but if you have an argument for Sharpie please let me know :)

#birds Can you name this woodpecker? It is the largest* woodpecker in the US!

*Other than the likely extinct ivory-billed woodpecker

Ah interesting -- I assumed it was Bulgaria since (unless my translation is wrong) you wrote the name in Bulgarian. My apologies.

#birds Male belty (belted kingfisher) flying and stretching in a tree.

Kingfishers are extremely hard to photograph due to their hyperactive tendencies and minute stature. But it's impossible to miss their call :)
