I have not seen it recently though.<br /><br />Jean, I do not miss the House sparrows!<br /><br />Laura, it is okay if you are not a counter. You are an artist and you enjoy their beauty. that is what matters most!<br /><br />Marie, a grey hawk in your yard? That is impressive! I use to see the Cooper's dive into my brittle bush after the birds when I lived there. AZ is so rich in wildlife. It is a wonderful place to live!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-65729785764481114002012-03-04T11:56:05.210-05:002012-03-04T11:56:05.210-05:00We have a juvenile Cooper's Hawk and a Grey Ha...We have a juvenile Cooper's Hawk and a Grey Hawk who come to our yard to try to capture the birds pretty often. The Cooper's flew into my back glass door chasing one! He was ruffled but otherwise OK. I have posted about him a few times on my blog, but my pictures aren't great. The Cooper's actually has gone INSIDE the bush to get the songbirds! I was surprised. In spite of their activity, and that of a roadrunner that I also discovered lays in wait in that bush to capture and kill the songbirds, I have probably 30 or 40 birds in that bush at one time! They only leave the yard to go get water, it seems. They are sparrows, house finches and goldfinches mostly, oh and doves, but I do occasionally see something else.A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-14768423030360354382012-03-03T08:53:42.537-05:002012-03-03T08:53:42.537-05:00love all your pictures!
