interesting article-Cooper's Hawk '74

[Fiddl...@aol.com]

I was browsing through a 1974 National Geographic Magazine when an article titled "Can the Cooper's Hawk Survive?" caught my eye. It was written by Noel Snyder, PhD with photographs by his wife, Helen. They did a study about the hawk and the effects on DDT on their eggshells. It spanned several years with data about the percent of shells found broken, etc. GREAT pictures. The study took place in "the forests of the southwest".

    I think of the Cooper's hawk as doing quite well now and it's great to get perspective from a time when there was doubt about their fate.

    Do any of you know this couple?

    BTW---note of interest--just got my first reverse 911 call announcing a bear being about 1 mile away from where I live in Littleton. (Bowles and Platte Canyon Dr.)

If it came here, it would be a new yard bear for me!
