[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 82583, member: 704"] Camoman I think your right about the hawk being a Cooper. I have both in my yard regularly and if there is nothing for a frame of reference I need the bird to sit for a while. I have many fruit trees and the robins are pests. The Coopers whack about one a day. The north side of my house is 95% glass and I like to sit with coffee and watch the feeders. I have had kestrels hit robins ten feet from my head. Darn robin is as big as they are. One day my neighbor had a robin sitting on the very top of a tall tree. A kestrel flew past headed north as if he seen nothing. A hundred yards north he started a big turn and climbing. A little later I looked back and he was in full dive. The feathers sure flew when he hit. The robin went to the ground and he made a tight circle and came back to land on it. Tough on songbirds, but fun to watch. [/QUOTE]
