[SBB] Cooper's Hawk across from the Saratoga Y, Quito and McCoy

[Mark Bohrer <[[email protected]]>]

For years, I'd seen reports on this list about Cooper's hawks in the 
Rinconada area a little south of me.

This morning around 8:30, the jay in the back yard was making his 
usual loud comments about the merchandise ("Cheeeeap! Cheeeeap!"), 
and he'd chosen to eat something on my custom fencepost perch. I 
leave screens off my back windows in winter, and I carefully opened 
the window for a picture. Didn't matter how slow or quiet I was - he 
spooked and flew off to enjoy his meal elsewhere.

Or was that the only reason for his departure?

I saw a swooping flurry of gray-striped wings next door, and waited. 
A young Cooper's hawk missed his meal, and decided to perch in my 
neighbor's tree:
