I thought I would share this here since we all share the same interest in our back yard birds and critters.
For many here it is nothing new but for me I was very excited to be chosen for the National Audubon Society Bird from Home gallery.
Our backyard Quail is towards the top sharing the stage with a White-crowned Sparrow.

That’s definitely not a tabby. Remarkable shot and visitors. Only get the Postman on my door stepSome great photo opportunities are often just steps from the back door. That aligns well with my generally lazy attitude Here’s one that actually was taken from my front doorstep. View attachment 2019
You beauty!A young Red Shouldered Hawk came to visit over the summer. They are common in our neighborhood, but this one spent the morning using our garage as a hunting perch, and swooping down on lizards and insects in the yard. Fun to watch and fun to photograph!

We get both of them here. It was an in between size of course lolBehaviorally, it seems like a Coopers - backyard hunting.
Could you tell if it seemed a bit smaller & thinner? Coopers are on the small side, comparatively speaking - at least "in my experience". ;-)
Great image!Needless to say all of the other birds disappeared....
