I have been noticing a Cooper's hawk visiting most days this winter. I
believe it has adopted our bird feeder as its own feeder (small birds).
Last week, as I was filling the tube bird feeder (it sits on top of a
platform and is caged) I had a surprise attack from Cooper as he tried to
knock me or my hat from where I was standing. Was more of a surprise than
an attack, but glad I had my black beanie on. It also did a fly by
yesterday as my husband was out filling the tube.
Thoughts on deterrents?
