Subject: [bcbirdclub] Red-shouldered Hawk and more

Two Red-shouldered Hawks spent the day hanging around our yard. The smaller birds were feeding heavily at the feeders, probably because of the inch of snow we had this morning, but they ignored the hawks and the hawks ignored them. The smaller birds seem to recognize which hawks are a danger to them and which ones aren’t.

Because of the snow we had quite a bit of activity at our feeders. We had 5 or 6 Cardinals, 5 Eastern Towhees, 6 White-throated Sparrows, 2 Song Sparrows, about 6 Pine Siskins, 3 or 4 Goldfinches, 6 or 8 House Finches, a couple of Titmice, a couple of White-breasted Nuthatches, a Carolina Chickadee, a Carolina Wren, a Red-bellied Woodpecker, a couple of Downy Woodpeckers, a couple of House Sparrows and a lone Starling.
