A few Christmas visitors to our backyard

We have a few bird feeders in the yard, and the quail usually visit two or three times daily (between 15 and 20 of them).

This guy heard we had bird feeders and shows up almost daily to hunt for his supper. We think it may be a Coopers hawk,
although it may also be a female kestrel. I could see a band on his leg one day, so he may have been part of a
Birds of Prey tracking project. I was able to get within about 10 feet to get the first picture below.

1. A partridge in a pear tree?

These are our Christmas visitors, huge flocks of Bohemian waxwings.
