There is no mistaking a mature Red-tailed Hawk, at least in this part of the country. And there is no mistaking the sounds of song birds upset by the presence of such a hulking predator. Four Northern Mockingbirds were fidgeting in this tree around the hawk. 
On a nearby obelisk — cemeteries! — a Chipping Sparrow was raising the alarm, too.
