Cool vulture head!
I love those goldfinches and sparrows too!

My heart is just racing from all the hawk activity this morning. I was walking from my office to the kitchen for more coffee when this one swooped low over the yard and feeder and landed in my neighbor's tree. I only got one picture before he seemed to swoop down into one of my neighbor's backyards. I didn't see him again, but wait until you see what I saw while I was waiting.

This is the yard swooper which I assumed was a redtailed hawk, but I'm not very good at hawk ID. I super cropped it, so hope it looks OK.
