"Immy" made another swoop at a mouse in the fading light and missed again  at 
4:37 PM, flew up to the hackberry, then flew away through the backyard trees  
to the northeast perhaps to roost on an empty tummy.  I hope it's not too  
hungry as it will be a long night.   Dee

At 3:38 PM on this overcast day, the immature Cooper's hawk made a pass  over 
my deck in the Charlotte Park section of West Nashville, Davidson County,  a 
few blocks east of the Cumberland River across from Bell's Bend.  It  lit on 
the deck rail, then moved to a chair over the bird seed area, then up  to a low 
branch in a hackberry tree behind the deck.  Soon, a little  mouse appeared 
to partake of the bird seed.  "Immy" swooped down, but the  mouse slipped away 
between the spaces in the deck floor.  "Immy"  stood on the deck peering down 
into the crack.  For a moment, it even  stood on one leg "flamingo style" 
after which it walked around on the deck  before flying up to the utility wire 
just to the left of the deck.   "Immy" doesn't have the patience of the parent 
birds yet in that it soon gave  up when no more mice appeared.  Now that it is 
gone, the mice are once  again joining the squirrels at the feeder.  All the 
birds are still  hiding, so "Immy" may still be around the vicinity.  It's 
always a thrill  to watch "Immy" especially since I haven't seen it for awhile. 
 No 
photos  today.  My camera was in another room in my bag where I left it after 
a  little jaunt earlier today.
 
Cheers & prayers,
