@Birdwatcher804 , are you any good at identifying birds of prey?

I was able to snap some pictures of some gulls while I was on vacation:

And a cormorant, but he was way out. This picture was taken at maximum zoom.

Thanks! There's a pair of them with their baby across the street. Maybe I'll try some fake crows.

I'd do that if they are nesting, A pair of any hawks will nest their young next to a well-stocked supply of food which means you're probably seeing the male scoping out your flock for food.

From a hawk? If so then this hawk has made your flock it's main food source.. I'd get fake crows ASAP or you're going to lose a lot more.. Crows are naturally hawk's rival and hawks will try to avoid them if they seem them in groups.
