Our weekend feeder watching was interrupted by the sudden arrival of a small hawk that was interested in feeding on the birds feeding at our feeders. After it first scattered them - several fled to the brush pile and for a while the hawk hopped around on top of it seemingly listening to activity below its feet.
Whether this is a Cooper’s or a sharp-shinned hawk is still in question - and may be doomed to remain a mystery.
It left empty-clawed but I saw it a few minutes later flying back into the woods carrying something, so it must have had success soon after we lost sight of it.
