I couldn’t help but wonder that just maybe the crow was thinking:
I should have slept in this morning…
The eastern kingbird chasing the much bigger crow

Eagle Family Report: Quiz is puzzled
Quizzical looked everywhere for his breakfast fish:
up, down, way up lake, even at me.
Even though he is flying well,
Quiz will continue to depend on his parents for food for the next 4-8 weeks while he learns to fish.

broad-winged hawk
I added a new bird to my life list today.
I was near a small pond when a hawk dashed out of the trees.
I thought first that it was an Accipiter – maybe a Cooper’s hawk.
It wasn’t. It was a small Buteo.
The dark line along the trailing edges of the wings and the bold central white tail strip were diagnostic.
I had just seen a broad-winged hawk. 2 photos
