Calling all finch fans! I know Cri gets Purple finches, is this one? Seems generally darker and notes of raspberry to me. Would be a first for me. House finches are more red (or occasionally yellow), seems to me. #birds#backyardbirds

A few finches at a feeder. A couple Lesser goldfinches and a larger finch that has notes of raspberry red on its head and chest.

1 - Whatcha looking at down there, Gary? 2 - “Nuthin’, see ya!” Cooper’s hawk #BackyardBirds SoCal 5:30pm

A male Cooper’s hawk is perched on a light blue metal fence as it looks down at the ground searching for a meal. It is showing off the dark gray feathers on top of its head, the Cooper’s cap.
A Cooper’s hawk is just taking off from a fence. Its wings are stretched out high to begin flapping. Its talons are letting go of the top of the fence.

Ravi II is taking a ten minute break up on the fence and getting a little wind blown. This was somewhat of a social visit, no snacks, thanks. He’s just gazing down the bank, taking stock of things. Roadrunner #BackyardBirds#birds

A roadrunner sitting on a green metal fence, its back is to the camera. It is mostly a brown bird but some of the darker feathers show greenish iridescence in the afternoon sun. 
Some of its longer head feathers are standing up from being blown by the wind.

😳 Those eyes 👀 I’m a little scared 😱 (1st photo) Thinking I just happened to catch Gary doing a double nictitating eyelid blink. 2nd photo a minute later, evil possession is over 😁 😅 Cooper’s hawk #birds#backyardbirds

Close up view of the front of a Cooper’s hawk that has two dark dull eyes. Its head is dark gray and its chest is mostly reddish brown with  a fine pattern of white feathers.
