ISLAND MEME SUBVERSION: DAY 3

[shichahn]

Well look at that, you guys got rid of the other bird I was tentatively considering for next fall. ;D But duck hawking sounds like a lot of work. Anyway, say goodbye to the excellent but not-as-pretty prairie falcon. Don't worry, they all hate you guys too.



So, onward! Today we will be looking at pictures of juveniles! Vote for your least favorite, but remember, feel free to take their adult plumages into consideration as well. We are voting for prettiest species as a whole, not the prettiest single photo, and some of these birds look very different when young!

Hawks and eagles:

1. Red-tailed Hawk


2. Red-shouldered Hawk


3. Northern Goshawk


4. Harris' Hawk


5. White-tailed Hawk


6. Ferruginous Hawk


7. Ornate Hawk-Eagle


8. Golden Eagle



Falcons:

1. American Kestrel


2. Merlin


3. Peregrine Falcon


4. Gyrfalcon


5. Aplomado Falcon


6. Laughing Falcon


7. Bat Falcon


8. Lanner

Prairie Falcons certainly aren't ugly by any means, but compared to some of the other birds' plumage, I guess they're kind of... boring.

...I always worry that people in my meme are voting with just the one set of pictures in mind. Like, you can't leave your choice up to my choice in theme, my choice in picture, the skill of the photographer. You need to consider the whole beautiful person in their entirety. THIS IS IMPORTANT, PEOPLE.

Yeah, they're cute but not particularly thrilling, appearance-wise.

I know! Mega uber serious important! ;D

It's so hard to choose! They're all rather pretty birds!

Much harder to choose between birds than people, haha. But there must be only one victor! We're probably going to have more tiebreakers in the future, I can see it now...
