Another Cooper’s Hawk attack around our bird feeders on November 22, 2016. This time by a juvenile, probably female hawk (due to large size) that swooped in on our birds and then chased them into a nearby leaf and brush pile I have made for sparrows and other birds to hide in for just this kind of circumstance among other reasons the little feathered friends need a place to hide!
