Try again.....went out with my husband yesterday and took these photos. One is a wood duck, and one is a spoonbill (i think) but im not sure what the bird of prey is, if anybody could help me i would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
And here is a black shouldered kite. We saw quite a few of these yesterday. If it is something else please feel free to correct me. Thanks.
Hi birdgirl,
Brilliant photos! The bird of prey is stunning - think he is a brown falcon. The starling didn't stand a chance!
I can't help with an ID but I do like you nice sharp photos.

Stunning shots birdgirl.... all of them. I think , (but am just learning with BOP) that it is a Pale version of the Brown falcon.
Well done on what looks like a great bird outing.

It certainly is a Brown Falcon and what a great job he is doing for the environment. They're a great selection of shots that you've posted. Very sharp and well-exposed. Thanks for sharing.

Stunning shots. Your bird of prey looks a lot lighter than the brown falcons I have photographed around here but my books say it comes in 6 basic forms (colour combinations) with intergrades.
Also glad to see it is getting starlings - hope it likes Indian mynas too
Great photo of the yellow-billed spoonbill
Hi Birdgirl, wow, wow, wow! Your photos are excellent.
Thankyou all for your wonderful comments and the id. Much appreciated.
Great shots birdgirl your shots are awesome keep them coming.
Excellent shots.
