On my jog to work from Commonland this morning I passed under two different Cooper's Hawks perched high on trees about 100 yards apart. I took the opportunity trying to tease out any nuances of the surrounding calls of Downy Woodpeckers and Carolina Wrens, filing them under "probable alarm calls".
Later on Giles Street near the footbridge, a merlin flew over calling and fluttering in a display flight.
