Cutting and carrying bits of leaves to build a nest - so cool :-)
(Also shown is a cut leaf found under the nesting site, and the last photo is of a nest that was finished in early March, next to the one just being built now.)

Immature. Flew in with its prey (a bird, gray belly and brownish upperparts, probably an Orange-billed Nightingale Thrush), perched at midlevel in cypress/pine forest and began feeding.

Two individuals, close to each other, soaring high in thermal with group of Black Vultures, then gliding on towards the South.
Might it be instead a Swainson's Hawk?
Photo#2 shows a Black Vulture, too.

Bird "sings"(in its own peculiar way) three times: at the beginning, at second 24, and at second 58. I had left my phone recording as I was getting ready to go out, so there's a few banging noises, and a rooster calling, but as I applied no noise-reduction effects, most of the background is ambient noise, ie, early morning critters.
