ISLAND MEME SUBVERSION: DAY 6

[shichahn]

Well, you did it, enough of you switched votes from the Ornate to the Gos and got rid of it. Shame on you. Harlot will come for you in your sleep now, you know. Oh, and the bat falcon was also voted out.


(Albidus subspecies of the northern goshawk, from Siberia)



Today is subspecies and alternate plumages day! Woohoo! This should be fun.

Hawks and eagles:

1. Red-tailed Hawk (Rufous morph)


2. Red-shouldered Hawk (Pale morph, Florida)


3. Harris' Hawk (Sonoran - larger but no other visible difference)


4. Ornate Hawk-Eagle (No photos of other subspecies available)


5. Golden Eagle (Mongolian - no visible difference)



Falcons:

1. American Kestrel (Bahamas)


2. Merlin (Prairie)


3. Gyrfalcon (White morph)


4. Aplomado Falcon (Andean)


5. Lanner (African)


As always, vote for your least favorite bird!

[Poll #1615298]

Also, as a side note, I think this may be one of my favorite photos, ever:
Hunter, eagle, bus

I love that the bird world has a bonafide species of serial killers and everybody's cool with that. ♥

SO. FREAKING. PRETTY. Esp. the Japanese guy's one.

Yep. That's just how they roll. ;D

Yeah, I love those birds. I don't want to know how much they cost, though.

Oh, probably just like, your firstborn. XD
