Yes although it is nicknamed sparrow hawk, it is a falcon. :)
Mallard x Northern Shoveler Hybrid?
Looks like a gray-headed junco (dark eyed subspecies)
Thanks! Liam has helped me with ID before, and does look like the lesser canada goose in your photo, too.
The cackling goose doesn't seem to have a white breast like this goose though...
Perhaps the difference has something to do with the bird's age or gender?
It looks like a house sparrow, thats what we have here in NJ. Nice find!
It could've been someone's escaped pet. One time an albino mourning dove turned up at my feeder, and a few days later, I found it had escaped from one of my neighbors! They got it back, though.
