I have not posted to this list in ages, but I'm an on-line lurker. Good to be
back.
Yesterday, there was a female (I believe) Coopers Hawk stalking my feeder
birds. She is around every winter. Yesterday, she swooped in, missed all
targets, but I think she must have bumped into one of the feeder poles because
she sat there kind of stunned for a few seconds, then flew into a low branch
and sat for a few more seconds. Had a red tail in the yard yesterday as well.
While driving home on Duboise road at 12:30pm today, there were 2 adult bald
eagles in the large field across from Houghton's big new barn. First I've ever
seen eagles up this way. Same two from Stewart park? They flew southwest
toward the lake, and went by the buffalo ranch where I lost them.
Then this afternoon while walking the dogs around the block, had another red
tail flyover, setting off the crows, and another (the same?) cooper's hawk fly
right over my head with what looked like a titmouse in it's talons.
