Dear “Two Different Hawks”es and “Obviously Photoshopped”s, and “Fake!”s:

ENOUGH ALREADY.

Yes, the same bird looks different from different angles, in different types of light, shot through the lens of a camera phone.
If you’ll notice, the color IN GENERAL is different between the two photos. The tone of the wood, the white balance, the exposure… it’s a camera phone. Technology is imperfect. Get over it.
And the fact that the bird’s plumage is asymmetrical – nature, too, is imperfect. Embrace that wonderful fact… and then get over it.

Or just note that the owner and employees were interviewed about, and confirmed the incident:

…and GET the f*ck OVER IT.

Sorry, wet blankets – sometimes life IS weird and kind of amazing.

Everyone’s so naive. Look at their feet, it’s really obvious that these are photoshopped. Poorly, at that.

It’s a wet juvy red-tail – no way its a Coopers…the tail only looks long in the first picture because of the angle at which the photo was taken. Look at the size of its feet. Those are the toes of a red-tailed hawk.
