Not that we anthropomorphize or anything.<BR/><BR/>Wayne at sparkleberrysprings.blog is discussing the climate today in an interesting post. I'm off to enjoy it, not oblivious to the issues, but my head and fingers are not coordinated this morning and every time I try to make a rational comment, glop appears.

I find these big raptors so exciting. It is a bit weird to think that my feeders are attracting food for a predator but that is how nature works. Besides house sparrows are cute but definitely not an endangered species.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18239868.post-1168354064182487092007-01-09T09:47:00.000-05:002007-01-09T09:47:00.000-05:00A cooper's hawk blows through my back yard at leas...A cooper's hawk blows through my back yard at least once a week.

Keeping looking for him because I read that they make the same stops every day. My hawk came back on the following day but left without a meal. He has stolen a dove once that I know of. Thanks for the extra info about them.<BR/><BR/>Your girls are the cutest, "Oh, look at all the bewds!

Thus small birds like chickadees tend to put more energy into mobbing the small hawks like Cooper's and sharp-shinned hawks and less into red-tails. I think the study was based on measuring the pitch/tempo of alarm calls for intensity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18239868.post-1168316217286274242007-01-08T23:16:00.000-05:002007-01-08T23:16:00.000-05:00Pam:The rain was crazy.
