Can't see his red top here, but this is the same bird

...working the same branches of the old oak tree in the back yard, is the white-breasted nuthatch...they also hide nuts and seeds in the branches, so they go back to find them again later.

Has he found something? White-breasted nuthatch, back yard

Is there a family of red-shouldered hawks?  Was trying to photograph one, when I saw there were two of them sitting together in the orchard trees.

Picture
This is a favorite spot in the back orchard, at least one of these hawks sits here every day.

In a tree close by the hawk in photo above this morning, a smaller hawk was sitting, perhaps a juvenile is being raised by the other two adults?

Band-tailed pigeons - they love peanuts
Question: how many band-tailed pigeons can you fit into a squirrel feeder?
