[EBB Sightings] Cooper's Hawk

Here in our tiny Walnut Creek backyard we had a Cooper's Hawk perch  
on our fence for a few minutes last evening, only the second time  
we've seen one here in the 15 years we've been keeping track.  The  
Coop looked around for a little dinner at our feeders, however, it  
left empty-taloned.  We also have Chestnut-back Chickadees dutifully  
flying in and out of a small garden nest box and, I am happy to say,  
a Western Screech-owl has taken up residence once again in our owl box.
