[EBB Sightings] Re:(EBB Sightings) Lake Merritt

Lisa,

Yes. We had found that one last year. Do you know the history of that 
nest i.e., how long has nesting been going on in that neighborhood?
I'd be interested in hearing about any other Cooper's Hawk nesting that 
has been going on in the surrounding areas of El Cerrito, Emeryville, 
Oakland or Piedmont.
