Scott,

Years ago I had an immature Cooper's Hawk in my front yard in Joppatowne
(Harford County) that was chased off the Locust tree by a squirrel.  It had
been looking at three squirrels below.  I was very disappointed, as I was
hoping to have pictures of it dining on a squirrel to share with the gals at
work.  As it turned out, I had to be content with just pics of the Cooper's,
and that was a good day.
