Female Bullock's Oriole
A recent visitor to the bird bath. The one with the red coloration is a male House Finch. He seems to get a little aggressive in #5 and #6 but the Oriole doesn't care. She's saying "Yeah, whatever. I'm a lot bigger than you."

Hawks and Squirrels
Yesterday an adult Cooper's Hawk was at the bird bath when a squirrel came scampering across the yard to get a drink. The hawk tried to scare it off by spreading its wings and hopping around a little bit, causing the squirrel to go to the smaller bird bath.

Hawks and Doves
A few days ago an immature Cooper's Hawk was at the birdbath when a White-winged Dove attempted to chase it off. At first the hawk hunkered down in a defensive position but then it went on the offense and got a talon full of feathers as the dove flew away.
This morning a pair of Curve-billed Thrashers visited the birdbath. One of them stuck around long enough to take a bath.
