Y’all get any raptors up in there? I’m a fan of the larger, predatory feathered friends. The red-tailed hawks and Kestrels are moving back north I guess, I still see a few but not like a couple of months ago.

Palm Warbler would be the second bird.

Nice work Islander! Great pics. You got the subspecies correct for the Common Grackle too.
I think you're almost ready to become a bird surveyor now. I can hook you up with a good seasonal job, if you don't mind hiking about 10 miles per day, enjoy sub-freezing temps at dawn, are not afraid of rattlesnakes or mountain lions, and relish sleeping on the ground every night.
You ready to commit? Haha!

Correct call too!
And, Islander, not to be picking nits, but it's actually Gray Catbird (officially) for the 4th pic.

We have lots and lots of ospreys. Also bald eagles and various hawks. I've not had much luck with raptors though.
The crested Caracara is a year round inhabitant. It is a ground dwelling falcon.

Great photos! Here’s a photo I took of a white dove in a blizzard.

You can see his beak pretty good.

The sand crane is cool.
All we have around here raiding the feeder are blue jays, cardinals, wrens, finches and mockingbirds.
The pileated woodpecker prefers to continue destroying the maple tree.

Nice pix.
I got to carry on a conversation of sorts with an Anna’s Hummingbird that landed on a gate just outside my window. Evidently recognizing the barrier of a screen, it gradually hopped to within an arm’s length away, and stayed for about a minute while we just checked each other out.
It would have made a nice photo had not my phone been just out of reach.
Nuts.
