Morning all,

We've got an adult (male) Cooper's Hawk that comes by fairly regularly to check out the activity at the feeders. His hunting technique is really cool to watch. He was just here again and he hunts by running on the ground and under the bushes, trying to scare up a meal. I've seen him twice so far doing this. It's really neat to see; reminds me of the velociraptors in the Jurassic Park movie. He was on our side path right outside the kitchen window, as I filled a humidifier at the sink (about 12-15 feet away), and ran under a big holly shrub, then out again onto the path.

He left without finding anything, but was being pursued by crows.
