Hello Mr. Cooper!
Feb/11/2021 01:20 PM
WHILE WRITING THE POST that precedes this one I was surprised by sudden motion on the bird feeders outside my window. I turned to see a gorgeous Coopers Hawk settle on top of my feeder pole! Talk about aggressive feeding techniques! This guy (probably a male since he was on the smaller side) sat there for about five minutes looking all around. He obviously knew somebody was hiding nearby. After a short while he suddenly stepped off the pole and dropped into the snow below right by a small fir tree. There must have been some small birds taking refuge inside because Mr. Cooper crouched down and started peering up into the lower branches looking for them. I'm sure those little birds were not happy with those vermillion eyes searching for them.
