[TN-Bird] New immature Coopers

For the first time this season, an immature Cooper's hawk has done a fly  
over here in the Charlotte Park area of West Nashville.  I was standing at  the 
kitchen sink and looking out the window.  Two mourning doves flew FAST  over 
the deck, then the roof, followed by a very striped immature Cooper's hawk  in 
hot pursuit.  By the time I got to the French doors to look outside, a  couple 
of dove feathers, either from natural molting or contact being made, came  
floating down to the deck.  The blue jays were in the hackberry tree behind  
the 
house raising holy cane!  I think "Immy" caught itself a meal and  doubled 
back to the hackberry,  In a moment, I saw a large bird fly through  an open 
space in the hackberry "forest"  and out the back way.  I  could not tell if it 
had prey, but it had screaming blue jays "on its  tail!".
 
Two mockingbird nests now have squalling babies for the second time this  
year. A third nest full,should hatch any day.
