    What bird is this?

    I took this pic on my phone through binoculars, so sorry for the bad quality. Does anybody know what bird this is? Sparrow? Mockingbird? Wren? Female red winged black bird? I’m not an avid anything, this is the first year having a bird feeder in my backyard and enjoy knowing who my visitors are...

    Colorado (sharp-shinned?) hawk with black and white breast

    This bird looks like a sharp-shinned hawk, but it's breast is mostly black, with some white specks. This image was taken in Denver, and it has been very cold for several days. Sorry for blurry image.
