Red-shouldered Hawk with Ground Squirrel
It has been so windy here that finding birds that do more than blast by has been a challenge. (The wind is supposed to die down tonight, bringing us 100° temperatures for the next few days.)
A lot of crow squawking in the tree alerted me to this red-shouldered hawk, disappearing into the canopy with a ground squirrel. I was just able to see it through the the branches.

I commend you for getting that much detail. I can’t see a darned thing once the leaves come out. :}
