A COOPER'S HAWK flew through a picture window at the Halterman home on Moore Road, Collegedale, a few weeks ago. It seemed unable to find its way out. Janet Halterman called the local police, who came, took one look at the hawk, and went back for more help and thicker gloves. They removed another window, through which the hawk left, apparently unharmed. (David James, who formerly lived in that house, moved to Pennsylvania, where a deer entered thru his picture window, ran around the house for a while, and left the same way.) At Standifer Gap Marsh, December 12, I was calling, unsuccessfully, for Marsh Wrens, when I heard what sounded like Winter Wren chips. I played a Winter Wren song, and a Winter Wren came right up to me, within 2 feet, chipping continuously for 5 minutes or more. I have never had such good looks at a Winter Wren.
