Thanks Marzy.

We have had a crap load of broods here.
Cardinals, Blue Jays, Hummers, the list goes on.
This has been the first year we have had so many hummers born here.

Some here may recall I had the fortune to have a few raised in the big oak tree in my front yard. They are fun to watch.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

I’d go with a red-tailed hawk due to the belly band.

Yep. The belly band is a give-away. Good eye!

Merlin Bird App and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology are amazing resources for bird ID.

The tail feathers are very RSH, but a juvie RTH will have stripes.

The call will give it away. yap yap yap yap yap is a RSH and just screeeeeeeeeee is a RTH.
