--f46d0408d3f7d3221804d44a5f3d Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 There was a juv.-plumaged Cooper's Hawk in the backyard at lunchtime today. It stayed about 30 minutes after I first noticed it - long enough to be seen by Rick Whitman and Bernard Forsythe, who came over quickly when I called. It kept looking around as if it were hunting, and eventually flew off in a northerly direction (towards Sheffield Mills, actually - any Eagle-watchers see it?). I have put photos here - http://richard-s.smugmug.com/Birds/Coopers-Hawk-27-Jan-2012/27742997_MPBWKM#!i=2338451678&k=fnpGsF8 and included the field marks that distinguish it from a Sharpie. Amazingly, this is the 3rd juv. Cooper's I have seen in our yard in the 7 years we have lived here. As soon as it left, our pair of Cardinals, Mourning Doves, Blue Jays etc., re-appeared at the feeders. I also went to Miner's Marsh this morning, where there were about 25 Evening Grosbeaks, as well as Pine Siskins and a single Common Redpoll and M.Cardinal.
