Big war going on outside today from 4:30-8:30 AM. Asshole Cooper showed up, looking to tag a few squirrels or birds but the crows were on his ass. They sit right next to each other like The Kurgan does to Macloud. Then once they run him off, they show up on my lawn looking for peanuts and grapes. |
I'm a big fan of the cooper hawk nesting in the field next to us, really keeps the mice and voles down. I also got to see it snag a song-bird midflight, which was kind of cool.
We have a cooper fledging now that spends a lot of time hopping around our yard and climbing the trees one hop at a time. I know it will be flying away soon, but right now it's pretty cool.
