Hi,

At 4:35 PM today, I went to the kitchen sink to put something away, and the 
gorgeous immature Cooper's hawk was perched on my deck rail not 15 feet in 
front of my face.  It was just above the water supply, so it may have been 
there 
for a drink.  I think it has been making an inroad into my junco supply as I 
have found two clumps of junco feathers in the last week or so.  One was on the 
deck and the other was down on the ground behind the carport (under the deck). 
 I won't swear that "Immy" is the culprit as there are a few neighborhood 
cats that hang around once in a while.  I also found a dead mouse on the deck 
where I put bird seed.  It had marks on it which could have been either claws 
or 
teeth.  Apparently, whatever caught it was frightened away by something.  I 
found the mouse one morning, so it may have been caught at night by one of the 
owls that have been "whooing" around here at nights.  It is nice having "Immy" 
Cooper around.  Hope it lets me watch it grow into maturity so I can observe 
the changes in the plumage as it occurs.

This sighting occurred at my home approximately four blocks east of the old 
Cleece's Ferry ramp & boat landing in Charlotte Park, West Nashville.

Cheers & prayers for great birding in 2004,
