Cooper's Hawk Observations
I was sitting near the bird feeders in the wooded area at Sabal Palms near Brownsville, Texas. There were white tipped doves near the feeders. With a speed so fast that the bird was a blur,the hawk swooped in and the doves dispersed. And . . . the feeding area became silent. A little later, the birds returned to feed, more of them, different species . . . and then I heard another "whoosh" and all the birds dispersed as the Cooper's hawk flew through. It came through at least three times. Only once did it fly slow enough for me to get the details. What an incredible experience to watch the hawk go through the forest with such speed and precision!!!!
