Hi Lynn, Barbarah, and All,

Happy snowy Monday.

I am having alot of hawks attacking our bird feeders over the past four plus days.

Today I was able to get a few pictures of one. I believe it is a Cooper's hawk but I want to be sure. Three days ago, a Sharp Shin was ripping apart a Downy wood pecker below the feeder. It was a much smaller hawk. I hope these pictures help.

Yes it is indeed a Cooper’s hawk; I’ve one here on SW Oswego, a regular on the neighborhood for a few years now.  I’ve named her Circe
