Backyard Wildlife (and frontyard)

Cooper's Hawk

We have transformed our front yard into a wildlife viewing area with a wide variety of birds, raccoons, squirrels and garden snakes. However with the abundance of birds at our feeders we attracted some Cooper's Hawks too. One morning I counted 5 in one sighting- 4 came out of one tree alone.
