The Party Crasher
|
There is a party crasher in town, and you may have seen him at your bird feeder. The Cooper’s hawk is a small bird of prey who likes to swoop in and spoil the fun of all the other birds eating seed, oblivious to any threat that may come from above. Like all good party crashers, the hawk is quick and quiet, arriving without much fanfare. He is hoping to catch a small bird for his dinner and then head on his way. You will know he has visited if you see a pile of feathers where a bird once sat, or realize the birds have all flown off having caught a glimpse of a Cooper’s hawk in the neighborhood.
