name the talons

Only one guess per ZooChatter. Winner will be named official ZooChat Raptor Specialist of the Year. This title has no monetary reward, but the pride and satisfaction that accompanies it is priceless!

Quite sure it is an American kestrel

Coopers Hawk?

Good guesses both, but no one has the prize yet. Keep them coming...

I'm going with Lanner Falcon

Red-Tailed Hawk?

Two more excellent, yet not quite correct guesses. We are getting closer, however, as this raptor does share its exhibit with a red tailed hawk (and a turkey vulture).

Now's I'm just grasping at straws, but lets go with Swainson's Hawk.

peregrine falcon.

Incorrect for Gulo Gulo (peregrine), but good guess. Ituri has already voted once and it is only one vote per participant, so his second guess is disqualified. That means Swainsons hawk is still available if someone else wants to use it.
