I was surprised to see a Coopers hawk near the Green Hills Cinema this 
afternoon.  There is a small island of landscaping separating the main mall 
parking lot from the strip of businesses near the cinema.  There are several 
"weeping" trees ((mulberry?), probably not even 8 ft tall.  I saw the hawk 
flying to the ground from the tree.  It didn't look like it had supper & I 
couldn't decide what it was doing.  It flew back up in the branches almost 
immediately.  It did this a couple times.  I chuckled as a number of people 
walked right by- I imagined how shocked they would have been had the hawk flown 
out in front of them.  They were literally less than 3 feet from the bird, 
right at the same level.  Never could figure out what it was doing but had 
several more opportunities to watch it.  Nice urban wildlife.
