A couple of seconds later a young Cooper's Hawk flew out of a nearby bush and right past us at waist level, an unual and startling sight. My husband and I are "Harry Potter" fans and figured the obvious explanation was that the squirrel wanted to disguise the fact that we had a wizard in our midst because we are Muggles, so he ran into cover so he could do his shape-shift without our seeing him! For those who wish a more prosaic explanation, we had a nesting pair of Cooper's in our neighborhood that have apparently produced two young this year. We have heard and/or seen the two juvies regularly during the past three weeks. The juv. was probably enjoying his/her breakfast on the ground when the squirrel ran in and the bird flew off so he wouldn't have to share. Nancy Teater -- Nancy R.
