Thanks Bill and Brian. A side view of the head indeed makes a difference. The hawk also doesn't have the type of crest the roadrunner has.

 

BTW, each member is still restricted to posting just one image per thread, but we are always allowed to post additional images to clarify a situation. For example, if someone wants to know your lighting set up for a macro shot, you can show an image of the lighting set up, which is obviously not natural subjects. The additional images from Brian and Bill are welcome.

It looks like the entire Texas is in the Greater Roadrunner's range: Greater Roadrunner

 

At least for me, it is a bit difficult to identify the bird Brian posted above. If there is a side view of the head, it may be easier to tell.

It's a Cooper's Hawk going by the brown teardrop shaped pattern markings on the front of its breast.

 

I see them in my local Landa Park on occasion living here in New Braunfels, TX. This one I shot quite a while back...
