are a good mark to look for. I'm pretty sure it is taking out the pigeons of a neighbor one by one which I won't mind at all. We also have a ton of doves lately so they are easy prey.

A webcam would be awesome!

I have a pair of Cooper's hawks building a nest 50 feet from my front door

I'd need to invest in some quality equipment, but I also have time on my hands at the moment to pursue a new hobby!

I have a neighbor kid that had a parakeet. He would take it out back and let it

Yeah, that sounds exactly like a cooper's hawk. I see them all the time in nearby trees monitoring my feeders

I’ll trade you for the morning dive that keeps jackhammering on my gutters?

Majestic bird. You're in for a treat watching the pair hatch and raise their chicks.

Not welcome at my house. I know when they are coming through, I always

Interesting, I always thought red tails were more aggressive to chickens
