Subject: [MDBirding] Cooper's Hawk 1, rabbit 0


Hi all,

Just sitting in the living room watching TV when the dogs barked at the window in a very alert manner. We looked out to see a large adult Cooper's Hawk putting the coup de gras on a rabbit about 10 feet in front of the window! As I write this the hawk is pulling out fur and starting to devour the unfortunate bunny. This is a different Cooper's from the immature that killed a squirrel a few days ago.

Ah, the wilderness of Colesville...!
