The mockingbird may run the cooper’s off too ☺
Their efforts don’t seem to match the gain.

Subject: [birdky] odd feeder problem

In the last couple of days, an aggressively territorial Northern Mockingbird 
has set up shop in my yard and spends most of its day chasing other birds from  
my feeders. It will sit on one feeder until it sees birds on the other, then 
will chase those away, and so forth. It seems particularly aggrieved by 
Mourning Doves on the ground below the feeders.

On the up side, my seed consumption has slowed and the House Sparrows are far 
less frequent. On the down side, so is everything else...

In need of a timely intervention by one of our local Coopers Hawks.
