I took this photo through a double pane glass door. The only way the hawk would pose for me.
A sure sign that the seasons have shifted and are barreling towards winter are the birds who share our hillside.
The birds of prey are back to haunt our fenceposts and stalk our resident covey of quail.
The geese that honk their way over the house, in formation, on the regular.
The flickers who tap on the house to pester Summer.
I'm glad they feel welcome here.

@NorcalGma2@sfba.social Guessing it’s a juvenile red-shouldered hawk, which I’ve never seen but common in your area. Looked it up, had me stumped, and I could be wrong.
