Thank you all! đ

Sorry for the poor photo. Seen yesterday in SF Bay Area. Thanks!
-
Many, many thanks to all for your comments and insights!

A similar photo, in case it helps. Someone with a good sense of humor has suggested âtrouser hawkâ.

I pulled this off my NextDoor feed, shot recently in the SF Bay Area. So far, this bird has been identified as a brown eagle (yes, you read that right ), adolescent golden eagle, Swainsonâs hawk, juvenile female red-tailed hawk, peregrine falcon and Cooperâs hawk. The person who appears to be most knowledgeable is saying juvenile female red-tailed hawk. Your thoughts, please.

Thank you so much! That's great. It buzzed my sister-in-law a foot above her head in its hurry to escape some belligerent Bluejays. Mark -
This owl was seen today in Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada. Thanks! Mark

Sorry for the poor quality photos. Best I could do with an iPhone. Saw this bird today by SF Bay. Itâs smaller than a Willet and bigger than a Western. Maybe (small) plover sized? Thanks!

Sharp-shinned or Cooperâs?

Thank you both! đ -
This bird was feasting in my brotherâs Ottawa backyard last winter. Iâm pretty sure itâs one those two hawks, but not sure which. Thanks for your help! Mark

Very interesting, thank you. Bud worms are sad for the spruce, but great for birds.
-
Is that because they are more abundant this year? (I should have said that the photos were taken today in the SF Bay area.)

Oh wow, that's a lifer! Or, at least, it's the first time that I know it's a Pine Siskin. đ Many thanks! Mark

Hi all, Could I get your opinion on whether these are Yellow-rumped Warbler? One is fighting off a Lesser Goldfinch. Thanks, Mark

The photo from All About Birds (copied below) shows a white/dark banding pattern on both sides of the tail from rump to tip. I don't see this in my photo. Could just be the angle or the way the tails are (or are not) displayed.
