Hi All, Just after daylight this morning I looked out to see a Cooper's Hawk under our gooseberry bush. It seemed intent on flushing some birds. It circled the bush a couple of times, then ran to an azalea bush to try again. It had no luck. After running around the yard a couple of times like a chicken, it flew onto the low branch of a cherry tree, then flew back to the ground under the feeders. Suddenly it flew off into the woods. Not more than ten seconds later a Red-shouldered Hawk flew into the yard and took its regular perch in a tree at the edge of the yard. It sat there for awhile before also flying into the woods. There are still 5 Fox Sparrows feeding in the yard, and along with the Red-wings five Grackles have joined the group. Last night the Barred Owl was back in the yard. I wonder if it might be feeding young now. The Gray Foxes are still coming for their nightly treats. Roger Mayhorn Compton Mt
