A Cooper's hawk roosting at my porch feeder will hunt smaller birds and rodents and thrives in urban areas. Oh my! Much to my astonishment, only 8 feet away from me, seated at my iMac desktop, a bird so bold and intrepid has alighted inside my porch bird feeder station where for years now, I enjoy small but certain revelations from watching winter birds come and go in search of bird seeds and suet. Of course that includes various woodpeckers as well as the prevalent throng that feed in a wave of succession the chickadees, tufted titmice, and the acrobatic nuthatches.
