This crow started swooping toward a hawk almost as soon as it perched on top of an electrical transmission tower. It tried a bunch of times to scare it off, but the hawk ignored it.

Red-tailed Hawk
This hawk glided across the sky, then alighted on top of an electrical transmission tower. Almost immediately, a crow started trying to scare it off, swooping toward it repeatedly. The hawk remained unfazed and just stayed put while I walked around to the other side of the tower.

Nervous Squirrel
I heard chattering and slowly walked toward this tree in a city park. Once I got to it, I stopped, and slowly looked around until I spotted the #squirrel up in the branches, just looking at me and waving its tail very rapidly. I took two photos, then walked away.
Plum blossoms, somewhere in the neighborhood.
House Sparrows (dusty)
The sparrows were bobbing up and down, but not like they were digging for food. As far as I could tell, they were playing in the gopher holes.
Note: A commenter on iNat pointed out that they were likely dust bathing
