Hi Everyone, 
Mr. Coopsy(juvenile ) lives another day!! Yesterday he took the day off sitting in a tangle brush about 20 feet off the ground and 150 feet from my house for the entire day ( did a couple digiscopes )(practice makes ......uh i dont know ) . He was there first thing this morning then dissappeared . when he flew in the treeline beside the pond Mr. Redshouldered was waiting for him . The resident Redshouldered flew after him and chased him south . they were having wind issues . A few minutes later Coopsey returned to his tree . Ive watched the other birds scattering throughout the park for a few weeks . I always thought the birds werent coming to the feeder as Mr Hawk was waiting at the feeder but i think they are really scared to leave their sacred places to begin with . Also the Eagles are returning to their nests on River road and Nursery road . Ive been wondering when they might find the lower Patapsco a better area to nest but i guess that isnt
 happening .
About 70 days left till spring !!!!! CANT WAIT!!!
