Just saw a medium sized hawk sitting on the arch leading to my side yard! While sitting in the rain at that.
The flew off before I could get a good look at him/her. Very speckled chest. Most likely candidate is a Cooper's hawk.
The neighbors have a bird feeder and someone has been spooking the squirrels.
Yesterday, cold and windy, was a good day for through-the-window photos.
The sparrow-looking bird is, I believe, a female purple finch. I still need to get a photo of the the male.

Missing this lovely winter visitor who was at our feeders almost every day from December 26th through February 11th. Hope it has found a cozy, warmer spot to ride out the season.
