Ogden's neighborhood hawk visted us again

[Doug & Nina Harr]

For years there have been a pair of Cooper's Hawks nesting in trees a few blocks from us.  Both the adult male and female, plus new juveniles, really like our yard because of the many birds and squirrels in our trees, at our feeders, and House Sparrows winter-hiding in a brush pile beneath our spruce trees.  The very large adult female returned again about 3:15 this afternoon, perched on the brush pile for 10 minutes and allowed me to get several photos of her from our back deck, about 35 ft. away.
