Hi All-- Erika and I have seen more Cooper's Hawks than usual this summer. Recent sightings include two widely separated birds last Friday along the bike trail along the Minnehaha Creek bike trail between Lake Nakomis and Lake Harriet in Minneapolis.
On Saturday we found a large female Cooper's Hawk at the U of M Landscape Arboretum in Carver Co. I posted photos of that bird on my blog this morning (http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com). *Birds of North America* reports increases of this hawk in Michigan and Wisconsin of 10 percent or more in recent Breeding Bird Surveys. -- Dan or Erika Tallman Northfield, Minnesota daner...@gmail.com http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com ".... the best shod travel with wet feet...Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ....”—H.
