rufous morph Ferruginous Hawk. Unfortunately it was late in the day and the hawk was in very dark conditions, but did the best I could with images. A beautiful individual...wish I had had better light. Wing pattern distinctive for this species.

Hawk flew in and displaced the kestrel from its roost. Kestrel chased hawk. Hawk fought back. A second kestrel flew in and chased off the hawk. More photos:

Not certain about this ID, not a common look for a red-tailed hawk, but dark morphs seem more common among the latter stages of the fall migration.

It is flying up to a tree limb. This view shows me where it gets its red-shouldered name.

I've just learned to identify female Rufous Hummingbirds' tails, which they love to flare out. This one is an adult female, with the two center feathers green, and a bit of green on the next ones.

This Bald Eagle was continually harassed by an American Crow as they flew past. Maybe it ate an egg or baby crow?

Experts - What is going on here? This male American Kestrel sure did seem to have the hots for this female Merlin. He kept trying to get close to her and even brought her a few treats (insects?) from the grass beneath the fence. She accepted the treats but didn't seem thrilled with the attention. However, when he flew off, she followed him...
