End of feederwatch for a while...

16:03 I'd been watching the feeders on the deck for a while this afternoon and was just starting an article on differentiating American and Fish crows when this HUGE thing landed on the small table. I slowly looked up so as not to spook it and found a juvenile Cooper's Hawk about 12 feet away. It looked around , hopped up on the railing and then, after a brief visit next door was off.

I'm guessing we won't see any Dives for a while but a squirrel and Chickadee were back within 6 minutes
