Brrrrrrrr Everyone, 
Another short story !! Im at home today staying nice and warm at home in Brooklyn . Watching the birds out the window . I had to stick my head out the window to see if the birds ate the bread on the ground and i see the only bird eating is a Grackle on the Hopper feeder which hangs from my second level kitchen window ( all the birds want to eat from here ) avoiding the feeders near the ground  . So i see there is a small sparrow under the Grackles rear end not moving . The Grackle is just happily eating . After reading  all the Grackle predation stories last week I thought  that he was holding down the sparrow while he was happily eating when out popped the sparrow head with food in mouth happily eating . So thats how you hide from the Hawk????
