The Inner Richmond neighborhood watch

Sheltering-in-place has made us stay home and hang out on the rooftop more. Over time, I have gotten quite familiar with our neighborhood corvids, pigeons, and gulls - their sizes, habits, and calls. Although I still sometimes mix up crows and ravens, following their sudden defense caws have led to many bird actions in the neighborhood. Recently, I noticed that the pigeons and gulls are starting to get involved in chasing threats away too.

Still, there's a Red-shouldered Hawk (or maybe several) that would challenge the neighborhood gang from time to time. Sometimes, I can't see it, but hearing its call makes me feel that it is somewhere near and that would drive me to locate it.
