sparrows

I'm not so hot at sparrows but there were a lot of em out at the cemetery this weekend, songs, chippings, maybe some fields too

Nice afternoon

Backyard sunshine brought out a Yellow-rumped warbler, a tail-bobbing Eastern phoebe, Towhee, Cardinals, Bluejays, Mockingbirds, Titmice, Carolina chickadees, Carolina wrens, American robins

Red-tailed hawk lunch

The pair was out again at the DHS garden yesterday, one having caught a rat with a lovely long tail which settled down to eat, and the other coming along to harass it - they both flew shortly after with nothing in their claws.

Cooper's Hawk

Saw one flying low at Nelson Ferry & Scott Blvd, then again on Woodlawn about a minute later, likely the same critter

Striped, rounded tail, flying low through the trees...

Early spring activity

Seen much going on? I've seen several American Robin flocks enjoying holly berries.
