This one is new to me. It landed on a cedar fence head facing the sky and I was able to shot 6-8 pics of it before it flew away. It was ~10:30am. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Blaine, I posted the only other view that I have. Unfortunately, I wasn't thinking immediately of identification though I definitely need to keep that in mind going forward. I'll see if I can find one again this morning. Thanks for your efforts.
