Hi all,
I just wanted to report that while walking across our large yard yesterday, I
was caught off guard by the abrupt approach/dive of a Cooper's Hawk about 20
feet in front of me where it snatched a small bird in the grass (unknown type,
possibly sparrow) and flew away with its prey squeaking and struggling all the
way. From the small victim birdâs perspective, I canât imagine living my
life just to become a ânecessaryâ step in the food chain for a Cooperâs
Hawk.
It is nevertheless the "way of the worldâ.
Best birding,
