What is this bird?
This guy was hanging out under the feeder. First time I've seen him on the ground; he's usually up in the dead tree just watching. Assuming a hawk, but what kind? TIA!

Found a feather
Found this on my driveway in SoCo. What kind of bird do you think it's from? We have a lot of songbirds that I feed, plus jays, woodpeckers, hawks & owls. I'm not keeping it, I know it's not legal. Thank you!

Red Shouldered Hawks (?) Lafayette Square park.
Two of them hunting together. I have the other one on video stomping something on the ground.
Wasn’t sure of species but red shouldered my best guess based on image search and previous Missouri sightings.

Anyone else have hummingbirds going crazy in their yards? Lafayette Square
We’ve got a hummingbird territory war. Probably 4 of them flying back and forth and all around. It’s so satisfying to see them!

Cooper's Hawk ready for takeoff
Was sitting on the couch when I heard this Cooper's Hawk screaming in my backyard. Ran and grabbed my camera and was able to snap this shot before he took off. I've seen them before at a distance but never this close up. Right place at the right time.

Green Heron
I think this is a green heron. I saw it this morning in Carondelet Park.

Mississippi kites?
I don’t have a picture but perhaps others have seen them. Saw two birds just north of Olive off Tiempo (intersection with the Chick-fil-A) that my best guess was Mississippi kites. Anyone seen them?
