Cooper's Hawk in front yard

The yardlist ticked upward today with a Cooper's Hawk swooping up into the sycamore/plane tree in the front yard of the building today. It was clutching what appeared to be a mockingbird (missing a head). A warbler - probably a Yellow - was giving light flight calls overhead.

Butterflies (western tiger-swallowtail, Gulf frittilary, skipper sp.) still at the Bougainvillea next to the back patio, but birdlife still sparse, with hummingbirds, House Sparrows and the occasional Bushtit flock and Mourning Dove the only birds.
