Raptors are often present at Sweetwater Wetlands, including Peregrine Falcon, Harris Hawk, Red Tailed Hawk, and the Occasional Swainson's Hawk. The most prevalent though are the Cooper's Hawks that nest there. Here we have a juvenile Cooper's Hawk, followed by an Adult Sharp Shinned Hawk in the same cottonwood tree.

Often present, and sometimes seen are Green Herons (though neither are great photos). Here are a couple of them:

Still hanging around for the winter are the White Crowned Sparrows. First a juvenile (1st winter) and then an adult:
