If you visit Google today, they are commemorating the 226th birthday of John James Audubon.

Thanks for the info Brian

Good spotting! Never leave your bins at home.

Okay, now for the hard part:  name those birds!

1) Red-Shouldered Hawk
2) Kestrel pair
3) what's with those tail feathers?!  Maybe a Mourning Warbler or a Green Jay?
4) Western Kingbird (or Tropical oCassin's)
5) Northern Caracara pair
6) Long-eared Owl
7) ??? an empidonax flycatcher or maybe a White-eyed Vireo?

Those are my my guesses.

The pictures are directly taken from audubon's work. You're mostly right:
3) Great Crested Flycatcher
4) Western Kingbird
7) Acadian flycatcher

#3 a Great Crested Flycatcher?  :?   Definitely not one of his better efforts!

And a Harris's Hawk!


Oops, I forgot that one.  (between 3 & 4) That was actually the first one I got:  a bit garish, but identifiable.

What about the butterfly?
A Pearl Crescent perhaps.
