Red-winged Blackbirds

Tom hasn't seen a hawk of any sort at the lodge in at least a week. Doesn't keep everybody from being nervous though. As soon as the Red-winged Blackbirds leave the House Finches and White-crowned Sparrows fall right in to occupy the space. In the last video you can see a few of the Red-winged Blackbirds in the Desert Willow above the front porch. The rest are in the Cottonwood tree not in sight. While you can't see them you can certainly hear them.
