[TN-Bird] Second immature Cooper's back again/mocker note

Hello Birders,

At about 2 PM, the immature Cooper's with the white marble-sized spot came 
back and perched on a deck chair here in Charlotte Park, West Nashville, 
Davidson County, a few blocks east of the Cumberland River.  He stayed and 
stayed.  I 
got the camera and took quite a few photos.  I even got up from my chair and 
got to a position where I could get the hawk AND a squirrel that was feeding 
just a few feet from it in the same shot.  Obviously, squirrel was not on 
"Immy's" menu for today.  It must be all those birds in the grape vines that 
keep 
it coming back.  Maybe the squirrel wasn't what the other "Immy" was after the 
other day when it flew into the vine.

After about ten minutes on its deck chair perch, my poodle woke up, saw the 
squirrel and started jumping a barking at the doorway.  "Immy" appeared to give 
him a dirty look and flew off to perch in a dead tree from which it flew 
again when I let Beaujolais out to deal with the squirrel.

By the way, my mockingbirds are not eating much peanut butter these day since 
all these grapes are in.  The chickadees and titmice can't seem to get enough 
PB, however.

Happy birding,
