and there's nothing like TWO hawks, at the SAME time...
to send them for cover in the bushes and trees! *I think they were both Cooper's hawks.
Saturday was a gorgeous day, with the snow coming down all around.
It was about half as much as our snowstorm in December, but it was just as pretty.
The robins, mourning doves, bluebirds and cardinals feasted on seeds and suet. There were also woodpeckers, finches, and northern flickers.
And the hawks? They had lots of opportunities!
We don't know for sure, but we think they left the yard without a hot meal.
