This very noisy Red-tailed hawk has recently been in the neighborhood for a few days, obvious because it has been so noisy.
Not to mention the little birds objection to it's presence.

Always enjoy when the Monarch butterflies visit the backyard native garden.

Butterfly on the Purple Hyssop which is also a favorite of the Goldfinches.
