Dingus, Crimper, I think it's these guys:

They make one hell of a racket. The mockingbirds tell them to shut up. Not sure about hawks taking them out, maybe not. Mourning doves are certainly on the menu of the Cooper's Hawk in my gf's backyard in Sierra Madre.
The pics in this thread are awesome. The snow buntings are way cool!

I grew up with burrowing owls behind the house in San Diego County. They are one of my favorite birds, fo sure.
(I just LOVE this photo!)

Mindblowingly Awesome HossJulia! So adorable. :)
Thanks Gary! I wondered if it wasn't a Green Cheek (aka Mexican Redhead). They are a lot like my own birds though my understanding is that they come naturally from NE Mexico, whereas mine come from NW Mexico (west of the Sierra Madre).
All a sweet bunch of jovial birds. :)
edit: Cool site! So, it's more accurate to say that mine come from west Mexico.

Anyone know what this is?

Boy, Crimpie, that looks like them, too. I saw a lady at the post office once with a green parrot. It sat on her shoulder making video game noises.
It's cool to live where parrots roam free. My girlfriend's son's girlfriend (whew) is from Indonesia. We took her on her first ever camping trip, up at Tuolumne. We're driving through Yosemite when she asked us if California had monkeys. Her outdoors experiences had always included monkeys.

OK no it wouldn't but its still fun to imagine.
If you think bear canisters are a pain, you'd have to have a monkey canister EVERYWHERE.

oooo yeah Bob's back!
post 'em hombre!
keep them rollin'
I put one of those bird seed bell shape feeders in my yard (for $2 do they work?!) and a goopy peanut butter suet feed in a cage type feeder.
Not sure what I'll get but I"m tired of just the red house finches, collared doves, and scrub jay so maybe I'll get lucky...
Cool owls!
