[EBB Sightings] Cooper's Hawk - North Berkeley

This morning about 8:30 a.m. we had a Cooper's Hawk swoop into our back yard 
and grab a gold crowned sparrow.  The hawk  then perched on the roof of our 
tool shed and spent 20 minutes or so dining on the sparrow, seemingly 
unconcerned about the close, dramatic view we had from our windows.  We live 
in the Berkeley hills, about mid-way between Memorial Stadium and the Rose 
Garden.
At this time of year, our back yard bird population generally consists of a 
large mixture of juncos, gold finches, house finches, titmice, nuthatches, 
towhees, sparrows, and an occasional grosbeak.  It's been quite and deserted 
for the last couple hours.
