Two (probably red-tailed) hawks spotted on an electrical tower, one looking north, one looking east. I often see one perched up there, watching for prey, but rarely two!
I don’t usually see *two* hawks on this tower!

This bluebird was perched near this tree, possibly even on the same post…
This #bluebird was perched near this tree, possibly even on the same post, but the moment I snapped the shutter, it flew up to a nearby roof. So I tried to get a decent angle on it, and was about to walk away when it flew back to the tree, landing on this post, grooming itself for a few moments, and then stopping to look around.
Who knew a hawk could be a birb?

Spotted in a park. Probably a Cooper’s Hawk.
I heard a lot of chirping from this tree, and saw a cluster that looks like it could be a nest near where this hawk was standing guard. It just kind of looked around the whole time even as I walked past the tree. If it was standing guard, it must have been able to tell I wasn’t a threat.
Lesser Goldfinch (yellow and black, on cables)
Red-tailed Hawk
I don’t know if it’s the same hawk I saw yesterday, but it’s in roughly the same area.
A red-tailed hawk spotted along the bike path today.
Mourning Dove
Typical Mockingbirds
It just sat there perched on the wire while I took several photos. It seemed totally unconcerned.

House Finch
Lesser Goldfinch (fuzzy yellow, on small cable)
First time I’ve noticed a Northern Flicker…
First time I’ve noticed one of these birds, but they’re apparently all over North America: A Northern Flicker, a type of #woodpecker.
(I was kind of annoyed that it was on the shaded side of the tree, but I can’t really blame it. The late afternoon sun was really bright.)
Bluebirds
Mitred Parakeet
Not sure what kind of bird’s nest this was

Some days I spot a lot of birds at these gardens, some days (like on this one) I mostly just hear them. Though I was at least able to *see* some red-tailed hawks circling way up in the sky, even though I couldn’t get any photos of them.
