Common Ravens, Cooper's Hawks and brilliant Cedar Waxwings highlighted the
Saturday morning walk.
I found it interesting that the Cooper's Hawks are back in full force. Last
winter, we found a Cooper's in every tree/bush where indications of Saw whets
were present. NYBG can have a few Saw whets per season and the Cooper's have
made them a primary meal.
On a happier note, the Cedar waxwings on the crabapples were a sight to
behold. There were American Goldfinch dangling from Sweet Gum balls and
Kinglets frantically working the yews. A well hidden Great Horned Owl was alone
in the forest. I hope the female finds a suitor as mating season approaches.
