The light, quick calls of the Red-breasted Nuthatches drew my attention to
my yard feeders. One Chickadee and two Nuthatches flew to the bird bath for
a drink. Then three Nuthatches, a Chickadee, and a House Finch took turns
at the tube feeder, nijer feeder and suet feeder. I was ready to snap a few
pics when they flew off into the trees. Hearing a slight rustling behind
me, I turned to look near the roof top and watched a Cooper’s Hawk fly away
on a westward diagonal. A few days sgo, dove feathers on the ground
suggested the Cooper’s had been hunting.
