Other Birds Pictures
Yellow-rumped Audubon's Warbler, the size of a little bushtit but much trimmer...smaller than a canary, yellow throat and plain face. Was hopping around very fast from fence to japanesse maple to persimmon tree.. It looked like the mocking birds would chase it away but the yellow bird would still fly in and away before the mocking bird could swoop to it.

Bird of Prey
This is the 3rd time this season that the hawk has come around the backyard. The first time it was perched on top of the bubbling fountain.
The backyard birds hide deeply into the bushes and trees. It doesn't take long before the little birds come back out of the bushes/trees.
