I hate to be a downer, but this is on my mind today. On this day, 50 years ago, the last known Eskimo Curlew was shot in Barbados.
In happier news, we still got snipes...
Here's a female Evening Grosbeak, pitbull of the finch family:

Looks like the wings an Osprey would have, not sure though. I'm sure one of the "bird experts" around here will know though.

Dave Kos, male Hooded Oriole if west coast,or 1st Spring Orchard Oriole if east coast.
I love those guys. We had them nesting in our yard and hanging around (immatures) all year in So. Cal.
ps. they like fruit (sliced oranges) or hummingbird feeders.

Yes, General Turgidson, I'd agree with dee ee that your fountain bird is a Hooded Oriole.
Elcapinyoazz, the unfortunate ex-bird on the telephone pole looks like a Swainson's Hawk.

Ha! I'm not done yet.
One of the last we got on the trip was this little gem. M saw one first while she slipped away to (sandbag) pee. I went back solo to look down a class 3 ridgeline and couldn't find it. We went back together and our noisy boy tagged along to really make it hard. Miraculously we scored.
