Hawk?

The red bellied woodpecker took over the suet but the downy woodpeckers finally got theirs. 

A brown thrasher was tossing mulch at lunch time. But before I could get a photo, the bird hopped down the steps and out of sight. I turned my attention to a cardinal drinking from the birdbath,  He flew upward toward the feeder, then dropped when something shot through the air so quickly that all I saw was movement and a couple of contour feathers floating in the air. That scares all the birds into hiding. After a while, a song sparrow came out to forage while a Carolina wren watched from behind a screen of branches.  Eventually the wren ventured to the birdbath. 

A male kingfisher perched on one of the posts for the floating dock.
