We spent Mon and Tue at UNI for orientation, and I encountered a couple
of nesting Cooper's Hawks. Mon evening at the motel on University, one
flew over our parking lot carrying prey and leading a squadron of angry
starlings. Heading for home on Tues, one flew over Hwy 20 near Hudson
leading a pack of grackles. This species appears to have staged a Bald
Eagle-like population recovery in recent times.
