There are at least 4 successful accipiter nests on the Island this
season, which seems unusually high to me. Two Cooper's Hawk nests
fledged a total of five young and two Sharp-Shinned nests fledged
probably about the same. One of the sharp-shinned nests was a half mile
from a Cooper's Hawk nest. It was located in the Ted Olsen Park, a five
acre city park. This morning I watched a young sharp-shinned try to
catch a young Douglas squirrel.
