The Coopers was in the backyard yesterday but apparently did  not catch 
anything.
This morning I'm beginning to understand why. 
His prey is not appropriate!
 
This AM, standing in the yard fitted out for gardening duty, I  heard a 
continuous single note call coming from the direction of our Tulip  tree. I 
looked in that direction. Suddenly a crow, closely followed by the  Cooper's, 
burst through the branches. I froze. I'm sure my mouth  was agape. They flew 
by at eye level within a few feet of me .  
 
Both birds flew into the hedge row that run along the edge of  the 
property. The hawk landed on one of the junk trees continuing that single  note 
call. 
 
During the last 5 summers, I've watched many pursuits of these  beautiful 
birds chasing their prey. Occasionally they give a longer  variation but I've 
never heard this continuous, single note call  before.
The crow disappeared.
