We've lots of hawks around.

| This one was eyeing #75's nest box. |
These three photos are from a company who goes around to festivals and fairs. Very educational.

| This hawk hit the window in 2018. I am sure it was chasing a bird. |

This broad-winged hawk came in a pair in summer. It hung around for a couple of days.
It was screeching something in hawk-speak:
Why are these men on the roof? That was an adventure. They brought a hawk to scare away the gulls while they harvested the gull eggs to limit the gull population.
We had a hawk visit the feeder this week. I am giving up identifying hawks. Sharp-shinned, red-tailed, Cooper's, or kestrel. We have a kestrel in the area. Birders with much more expertise have seen it around. I won't lead anyone astray! It was small, not as chubby as the mourning doves.
It cleared the feeder. They slowly came back, first the chickadees. It was still sitting on the branch in the tree. I went out and it flew off at great speed.
