After weeks of an adult Cooper's Hawk traumatizing the neighborhood and my backyard birds for hours each day, an immature bird shows up today. Became aware of it by the constant chattering of the House Sparrows that stay put in the Cotoneaster instead of flying away like all the other birds. I admit that we don't chase the Coop away if it is going after one of the MANY House Sparrows we have, so I got some pics of the bird and then left while it hunted in the bushes. A few minutes I heard the alarm call of the N. Mockingbird that has been a bully at our persimmon tree and nearby ornamental pear chasing away all the fruit eaters. Went back to the window and saw that the Coop had grabbed it and was dragging it under the tree!!
