Yes, I figured the Cooper’s sitting atop the telephone pole was keeping an eye out for a tasty supper. We have sparrows, finches, mourning doves, crows, mockers, hummingbirds and a few black Phoebes around here. Pigeons are in a small minority. I spotted the Cooper’s only because I found one of it tail feathers on the ground and then looked up.
I get a all of those too but not the Black Phoebe sadly. The Cooper’s Hawks around here are too paranoid to let me get as close to them as you did and the only way I can see them is through my window because right the minute I get out there w/ my camera, off they fly. The Red-tailed Hawks are very tame and allow a really good look but they rarely come in my yard. There are some that nest on a local power line on a busy road so I’m guessing they are used to people.
