Got an active feeder in the small back yard. Love the seasonal visitors. A half dozen squirrels the other day.
The pecking order for birds is usually the sparrows chasing the jays, who chase crows, who chase the hawks.
(It's impossible to separate the sparrows out. The doves and other finches fly with them.)
Yesterday I hear a crow. Look out and there is a Coopers Hawk in the scrub eating something fast and nervously. Puffed up bigger than a large football and looking around with every bite. Big fella. A squirrel few feet away does a few mock charges at it.
Sadly there were blue grey feathers. One less jay.
