Today a special treat on my bird feeders that are outside my home-office window. The small birds suddenly scattered.
A Cooper?s hawk landed on the upper bar of the feeder and sat just 5 feet from my window for several minutes.

What a grand treat to see this hawk up close and for an extended period.
Last year I saw another (or maybe the same Cooper?s) take a bird off the feeder- flew in, grabbed its snack and gone.
