[TN-Bird] Unusual birds near Radnor Lake

I don't normally think that our yard birds are of statewide  interest, but I 
can't help remarking on a remarkable collection of birds over  the last few 
days:
 
1.  Continued small flocks of Pine Siskins at our window  sill and other 
feeders, all of them utterly approachable.
 
2.  One Red-breasted Nuthatch yesterday, only the second  I have seen in 14 
years at this residence.
 
3.  One Fox Sparrow yesterday, ditto on frequency of  sightings.
 
4.  Cooper's and Sharp-shinned Hawks, perhaps attracted  by all of the above. 
 But today's Sharpie was very dark with white  spots on the back, as if 
he/she had been in a fight and came away with  badly ruffled feathers.  It too 
was 
all too approachable.
