We have been seeing a hawk around the back of our property for a few months but I never can get close enough to get a decent pic of him. Lately, he has been coming a bit closer to our house and I was able to get a few pics of him on the ground. Although they are not perfect shots, I am just happy to be able to try to identify him. I believe he is a Broad-winged hawk. I'm hoping he keeps visiting and that I get lucky for more pics.
I've had a mockingbird at my feeders the last couple of days, which is unusual. Usually I just seem them in the trees or on the ground.

In the next pic of the Red-bellied woodpecker, you can really see the markings on his back and head.
The Carolina Chickadee visits every day.
Check out his black cap.
I''m always thankful for the birds that visit my feeders and yard. Thanks for stopping by - Judy.
