Down by the river

Not too cold. Not too windy. A good day to head down by the river.
Sparrows were investigating the hawk's nest, so if you look carefully you can see her eye peaking through the twigs watching the pesky sparrows. They eventually flew off.


Much more fun was the mockingbird who was "talking" car honk (from the highway) and various bird calls, -chatter, chatter, honk honk, etc.


I was shooting in spurts so didn't see this but the camera got it. Bluejay flew at mocker.


Then they both changed location.


Back to yacketty-yack.


Towards the boat basin.... redbelly woodpecker getting hole grub.




It will get more interesting down by the nest when something hatches.
