Cooper's Hawks

July 6, 2009
Morning and dusk the past two weeks has been filled with cries of several Cooper’s Hawks, darting beneath the canopies of the trees in the yard – one against the window yesterday. We first suspected that our quadruple-bumper crop of kittens brought them closer to the house. And though the kittens are getting shier, we haven’t lost a one yet.
Outside the door this morning, I caught what appears to be a young bird tearing into a mouse. It later hopped onto the branch and cried until a second young bird finished the remains, while an adult circled, crying encouragingly.

Hi John & Robbin - Have been trying to communicate thru your email address. First - from weeks ago. Fantastic that you received the Wrangler Award. Bought your book (an autographed one!) from Brewer and thoroughly enjoyed it. Have many favorites, but the one that really struck home - was Home! Can just visualize it. Says it all. s

I had only previously seen one web page when I googled into your internet site - I did not realize how extensive it is! Brilliantly accomplished! I hope you've got earned awards for it, they're deserved.
