Though I do always selfishly hope that the visiting raptors don't eat any of the birds I've known personally for years.Donegal Brownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09809720759418462703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27276563.post-29930679276725823942012-01-28T08:52:30.903-05:002012-01-28T08:52:30.903-05:00that coopers' looks hungry-concave in the crop...that coopers' looks hungry-concave in the crop--poor baby--someone must die for others to eat!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27276563.post-73264428129631447532012-01-27T17:55:54.501-05:002012-01-27T17:55:54.501-05:00Great photos of Culprit the Cooper's Hawk'...Great photos of Culprit the Cooper's Hawk's visit! We also have a Cooper's Hawk that makes the rounds of the neighborhood birdfeeders. I used to feel somewhat guilty about putting out birdseed and luring songbirds to their occasional doom. Then I rationalized that it was better to feed the birds, especially in harsh winter conditions, and have enough fat birds to attract a predator or two.<br /><br />Our Cooper's Hawk is quite shy of humans and has defied all my attempts to photograph her. Sometimes she perches in plain view on the back fence, surveying several backyards. Other times she is almost invisible, lurking in the branches of the tree next to the feeder, only her striped tail giving her away if you know where to look. And the screaming bluejays!Julia Gnoreply@blogger.com
