The head appears rounded. Color of the head and the back are uniformly blueish gray. The tail looks squarish with narrow white tip. Sharp-shinned? Malini

Thank you all for the confirmation!

That is what I suspected. Thanks @Aidan B

A Black-chinned Hummingbird was reported was reported for several days at this specific tree. I never got a good angle, so did not actually see any purple. Could this be a Black-chinned or is it just an Annas? Hummingbird 1 Hummingbird 2 Hummingbird 3

Indeed, it was the pointy wings that led me to assume Accipiter. I just noticed the windows, so you are very likely right about it being red-shouldered hawk. Thanks @chica!

Indeed @Tony Leukering. Thanks for setting me right on the logic.

Northern Shrike or Loggerhead Shirke?

Thank you all! -
Ancient photo #2 - Eagle Lake vicinity, Lassen County, CA - Feb 2003 Their ranges overlap so could be either. But in general the black mask of the Loggerhead shrike covers about a third of its face and mask in this photo appears thinner and covers only about a fifth. So I am guessing Northern Shrike. Thoughts?

Thanks! According to Merlin, where the range overlaps, Great-tailed Grackles are likely to be seen away from the coasts than Boat-tailed. By that logic, this is more likely to be a Boat-tailed than a Great-tailed.

Dredging up old photos - this is from a trip to Anahuac NWR, Texas in Feb 2003. Its a distant photo so eye color is not obvious but it looks glossy.. Grackle?
