I don't know which bird it is yet. We have a number of pairs in the area.
This is a map of an approximately 5-mile (north to south) area that includes downtown.
See how many breeding pairs there are just there? Pretty wild.

Oh no, so sorry! Hope they can help him/her, especially of there are babies involved.
