[Dthomp2669@xxxxxxx]

Hello,
 
At 3:38 PM on this overcast day, the immature Cooper's hawk made a pass  over 
my deck in the Charlotte Park section of West Nashville, Davidson County, a  
few blocks east of the Cumberland River across from Bell's Bend.  It lit on  
the deck rail, then moved to a chair over the bird seed area, then up to a low  
branch in a hackberry tree behind the deck.  Soon, a little mouse appeared  
to partake of the bird seed.  "Immy" swooped down, but the mouse slipped  away 
between the spaces in the deck floor.  "Immy" stood on the deck  peering down 
into the crack.  For a moment, it even stood on one leg  "flamingo style" 
after which it walked around on the deck before flying up to  the utility wire 
just to the left of the deck.  "Immy" doesn't have the  patience of the parent 
birds yet in that it soon gave up when no more mice  appeared.  Now that it is 
gone, the mice are once again joining the  squirrels at the feeder.  All the 
birds are still hiding, so "Immy" may  still be around the vicinity.  It's 
always a thrill to watch "Immy"  especially since I haven't seen it for awhile. 
 No 
photos today.  My  camera was in another room in my bag where I left it after 
a little jaunt  earlier today.
 
Cheers & prayers,
 
Dee Thompson
Nashville, TN
