[SBB] Cooper's Hawk: PA Baylands coot Killer

[Ron Wolf <[[email protected]]>]

For the last few months, there's been a first-year Cooper's hawk that 
has made himself at home around the Palo Alto Baylands. This 
particular hawk has been utterly oblivious to the presence of humans, 
often perching within 20 feet of people. It has been hunting around 
the duck pond and the lagoon behind the duck pond. It has been 
hunting fron the railings of the nature center and from garbage cans 
by the nature center parking lot. I've also seen this particular hawk 
on the railing at the Byxbee flood-control gate and on a pole by the 
Shoreline Park pump station. It seems to be feeding primarily on 
coots. By most of his regular perches, you can find the remains of 
Coots. E-mail me if you want pix.
