We have Cooper’s Hawks as well - at my house, and at my sister Richanna’s house, and I’ve only ever seen them eat a squirrel once, and it was the young hawks (that just fledged) that killed it.
I always wonder why they don’t eat squirrel more often. I wish they would. I have about 10 fat squirrels here in my yard, raiding my feeders every day! —Terry ============================== > On Jan 18, 2021 , at 11:16 AM, Donna Lee Scott <[email protected]> wrote: > > Must be my fatties hide well when red tailed hawks perch above the yard! > Right now there are 10 SQs visible😕. > > Donna Scott > Lansing > Sent from my iPhone > -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
