Our Cooper's will land in the larger trees around our house and we can get a good look at it with our binocs, but no sharp-shinned action. Check out the feet on that kid! If he grows into those feet you're in trouble!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12534106679136054532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-16664536849949110682008-02-15T10:44:00.000-07:002008-02-15T10:44:00.000-07:00Jess, (aka Scapbookideas)glad to see you are visit...Jess, (aka Scapbookideas)glad to see you are visiting again. That hawk photo was a true gift. I can't believe it didn't fly away when I got near the window to photograph it.<BR/><BR/>Ocean, as Mary says,who minds laundry when you've got these beautiful birds to watch! I'm glad my writing makes you laugh. I know that other people's birds always seem more exotic than our own, but they are all wonderful. I haven't seen some of the ones you get up there in your neck of the woods!<BR/><BR/>Ruth, the challenge in identifying Cooper's and Sharpies is intense! I keep looking and learning all the time and still get it wrong sometimes, especially with the size overlap. I feel pretty confident I got this one right.<BR/><BR/>PA birder, how right you are!

I guess one thing remains constant, no matter where Sharpies may be found they give the term birdfeeder a whole new meaning as they like to feed on the birds we feed!<BR/>VernAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-52961736293107253312008-02-13T19:29:00.000-07:002008-02-13T19:29:00.000-07:00I don't think I could tell the difference between ...I don't think I could tell the difference between a Coopers and a SS Hawk, but I will remember your tips.
