I see hawks, crows, barred owls (at dusk), vultures, my chickens, mourning doves, cardinals, occasionally bluejays, tiny warblers (they make a nest and hatch out chicks every spring in a bucket hanging from the roof of my back porch), two kinds of woodpeckers, starlings. Those are the typical birds seen around my home.

Small Raptor (falcon?) Gliding into cover the wings and body formed an almost perfect cross.

Blue Jays, robins, mourning and euro doves
Haven't seen one of the redtails lately. Used to be at least one on the utility pole at the SE corner of the back
Never "see" any. Several barred owls hoo hoo during the wee hours daily

I could watch Western Kingbirds all day, they are so graceful in flight. Around here the scissortail flycatchers get back first, many of which are aggressively displaced when the western kingbirds arrive a couple of weeks later.
OTOH western kingbirds depart in August on account of they do their post-breeding molt on the winter range in Mexico/Central America.
Scissortail flycatchers are cricket and grasshopper specialists, catching a lot of their prey on the ground, such prey generally being most abundant late summer and fall. So scissortails hang around on the breeding grounds to molt after breeding. Around here where I am you can find then until November.
‘Nother point of trivia, in Oklahoma scissortails get shotgunned in some places on account of the Indians use their tail feathers for peyote fans.

When I drove through South Dallas at about 11:00 in the morning the other day I saw a flock of Blackbirds hanging out at the 7-11 on the corner nearly all drinking 40 oz of Colt 45 and Old English.

Same ole' water birds. Lots of roseate spoonbills lately.

I did see some bird in the front yard a couple of days ago that was all yellow with dark wings, no idea what it was but the sea roaches ran it off when they came to steal cat food.
